About Amberley
Amberley has been facilitating creative writing workshops
for the past year with young people at Kids Company and on Thursday evenings at
her local pub in Kennington. Her enthusiasm has empowered the groups, enabling
their members to develop distinct voices that echo through the words they
write. These workshops have become a weekly creative outlet for all involved.
About Leo
Leo Schwartz, itinerant welder of words, motorcycle parts
and dreams is co-facilitator of the group at Kids Company, where he is also a
key worker. Using his charm, he wooed English PEN, an organisation that aims to
give a voice to the unheard, into supporting Kids Company’s young writers.
