Andy Marshall - Writer
Growing up in the Cronx has taught me a lot about change. It's always been a place close to my heart, and I keep discovering new things to fascinate me. Despite spending most of my life designing brands and marketing stuff, I have always enjoyed writing. So, through fusing two passions together, I am very much looking forward to sharing thoughts and experiences through the written word.

Dee Bonner - Writer
I'm privileged to hear the varied stories of so many children and families I've worked with over (ahem!) years. I love the theatre whether it's a big and bold musical or solo, one person, small piece. It is always escapism:) I'm no longer a frustrated writer as I start to write so many pieces and some day I'll finish them. I love clothes, nusic dancing and books too.
