Dear all,

My name is Martin and I am your Greater London region co ordinator and what an exciting challenge we have ahead. I met Mark back in 2005 when he helped us open an Art Studio we designed for children in West London. Mark was marvelous and I experienced at first hand his ability to communicate with children without reserve and they responded in a manner that only true understanding and friendship brings.

The Foundation is going to be a great success and with a pinch of Mark’s enthusiam, we will be able to offer hundreds of children a chance to express their artistic talents where they might not have had the oportunity to do so. We have only just started, but the interest is huge. We are currently assembling our team and in the near future, we will announce our first plans for the Greater London and SE region. Look out for news on the website, local press and school bulletins.

My own specialist interest lies in architecture and design and together with my team, we will be rolling out an extensive creative programme for children of all ages to get involved in. Thanks to all of you who have written in and look forward to working with you in the near future.

Best wishes,

Martin Murphy.
