Nik Perring, a writer in residence with the charity Never Such Innocence visited Prestatyn High School in Denbighshire on Wednesday 12th March to lead a series of poetry workshops for 5 classes with high numbers of Service children and their peers. This event was kindly funded by the Naval Children's Charity, aimed to highlight and further promote the strong community connections the school already shares with the Armed Forces.
With Nik's guidance the young people involved in the workshops produced some incredible poems that their Service Children School Champion is going to submit as part of the Never Such Innocence Poetry Competition. It was a wonderfully enjoyable day, and lovely to see the young people surprise themselves with their poetic flair and final piece!
A big diolch/thank you to the Naval Children's Charity, Never Such Innocence, the school staff for organizing the event, and of course, the participating young people.
