Kay is a professional arts practitioner and co-ordinator with extensive experience working with young people within a diversity of educational and community settings. Her roots are in youth service, as an arts specialist, where she co created the Artswork Young Peoples Performance Arts Company and initiated arts programmes and projects for schools. Her passion for the art of storytelling, and the importance of imagination and creativity, as a personal expression for the individual and their well being, has invited her to share and create stories and creative arts with the young people alongside the therapists and artists in the Sensing Friends project and team.
