Playing with the Present was developed with a Creative Learning ‘Creative Collaborations’ grant from the Arts Council of Wales in collaboration with Ebbw Fawr Learning Community.  It was piloted with the Awen Project and Mindfulness in Schools Wales. We are grateful for the support and enthusiasm of all students, teachers and funders who have helped along the way and those who continue to offer their gentle, kind and patient care to the pillars on which our mental health rest.
