"Working with Henry is an incredibly enriching experience. He brings a calm and deeply thoughtful approach to his work, with an ability to know when to gently challenge participants and when to provide steady, supportive guidance. This creates an environment where people feel both safe and inspired to grow. His own artistic practice is impactful, and thought provoking, and when combined with his facilitation style, it results in a powerful blend of confidence, care, and creative ambition.
Henry recently delivered on our employability programme working with vulnerable women, where he quickly established trust and strong relationships within the group. Through his skilled facilitation and encouragement, participants developed the confidence to write, develop, and perform their own spoken word night, an inspiring achievement that reflected both their growth and Henry’s leadership.
Alongside his creative work, Henry is highly organised and easy to work with. His experience in project management means the entire process, from booking through to delivery and invoicing, is smooth, professional, and reliable. Henry is a highly recommended facilitator and artist, and we would not hesitate to book him again."

"Henry led some truly inspirational workshops for our youngest pupils. It was a rare opportunity for real collaboration, and the poems produced were individual, original, and hilarious. Henry has a real gift for extracting ideas from children's imaginations and using them to create unique poetry. We'd definitely have Henry back again.
One of our Reception pupils said "He was really funny. I liked it when we did the roaring."
One of our Year 2 pupils said: "I liked the poem we wrote about the dragon who wanted to eat whoever got in his way. It was fun!"

"I have worked with Henry on many occasions, where he demonstrates a highly adaptable and
engaging approach to working with young people through the arts. He builds strong, genuine
rapport with children and young people, creating a safe and inclusive environment where they
feel comfortable expressing themselves. Henry is responsive to the needs of different groups,
adjusting his style to suit a range of abilities and personalities, and consistently brings warmth,
creativity, and enthusiasm to his sessions. He is a reliable and positive presence and a valuable
asset in both community and school-based settings."
