Speight of the Art was invited by Peter Jones, Director of Shropshire CU, to become an associate member of this seat of education, embracing children from the age of 4 years onwards. We are now a validated provider of learning, where each child has a passport of education stamped each time he/she fulfils a task, to the point of degree status complete with cap and gown.

Following involvement in the judging of the Competition, the Founder was invited to attend and asked to present prizes for the Art Competition held this year in the children's section of the Moorfields Eye Hospital!

Professor Peter Shah, our Patron and instigator of the Prize Your Eyes competition was also on hand to deliver to those children and parents alike, who were present, an address highlighting the dangers of eye damage and its prevention.

This SP8 , Wolverhampton led, activity, began as a result of an article/interview on the Foundation by the Wolverhampton Express and Star newspaper. The organisers of the Paralympic event spotted the interview with the Founder, liked what they saw and invited us to attend!

This resulted in our appearance at the Aldersley Arena Leisure Centre on the 18 November, enabling us to participate in an Olympic inspired event for those disabled and special needs children and with special reference to the Paralympic 2012!

The 200 years celebration of the Ceramics Industry’s establishment of its world wide recognition as being at the heartbeat of pottery, fine bone china and associated products and industries, was located for a two week period at the former Spode factory in the old town of Stoke .
