Self Portraits & Poems

“Bob delivered all aspects of the project successfully and met all the aims of the funding. The impact on the participants was visible, especially during the event where they were supported by Bob to pluck up the courage to perform their own written piece to a live public audience. Participants and audiences were fully engaged, and the work was very well received with comments such as, ‘Loved hearing the poems and self-portraits. The local voices, unaffected, generous, open. So very Middlesbrough!’ – audience member, and ‘Poetry is my new hobby to have. Bob Beagrie helping me with my poetry is amazing and eye opening.’ – participant. It was a pleasure to work with Bob and we would certainly recommend him for further projects based on our experience.”
