Wonderful project, lots of love xx

Amazing advocacy from the awesome Alison Lapper. So glad to support this project ao that Parys’ death wasn’t in vain and we can help more young people through the drug of art.

Wholeheartedly supporting the project to work towards improving vital mental health services for young people. Its a brilliant idea.

A pleasure for Jo and I to meet you today Ali. You are an inspiration to so many and I have pleasure in making this donation. Best of luck with the project

Keep up the good work Ali - bless you for all that you’re doing. xx

Hi, having experienced mental health issues for many years myself I feel particularly clise to this project. Also as an amateur electronic musician, I fully understand the therapeutic help that can come from the expression of ones feelings through creating. An idea i have is to include creating music as part of the project. Having both professional musicians and amateurs like myself get involved to attempt to inspire and support young people through music. If Alison or others involved are interested, feel free to email me at [email protected] Have as good a day as you can!

In the past few years, I have been so touched by Alison Lapper's experience, especially when you had the chance to meet with Parys, an amazingly gorgeous and so kind young man, her son. I had the pleasure of meeting with Alison several times, she is an amazing woman and a so talented artist. I am thrilled to be part of this project with my contribution and being able to help people who are struggling with mental health. Art is the best healthy way to heal the world. Thank you ever so much, Alison. Lots of hugs! Albertino.

I hope you meet your target. Good luck.

Wow Ali, I am sure this is going to be amazing! Erin x

I have followed Alison and Pary's story over the years through the Child Of Our Times programme and I think this is a wonderful tribute to the memory of her beautiful boy. Art helped me through the first lockdown when I lost my dad and didn't know where to turn. Good luck with this amazing project.

Sorry I cant afford more, brilliant idea xxx

Alison, with love from Tom & Lucy Yendell

Fabulous idea, much needed - hope it makes it up to Yorkshire, my students at uni would really benefit x

Wishing you all the very best and a massive amount of love for this project. Holly
