“It was refreshing to have that positive social experience and to feel that comfortable around others, compared to my previous experiences as someone with autism and social communication difficulties. This experience helped me to feel more confident in who I am.”

“Had it been before my involvement with Noah’s A.R.T. I most likely would have ended up in hospital. However, unlike previous stressful situations, I was determined not to let anything spoil what I had achieved and the sense of fulfilment I had gained from this work.”

“Through Noah’s A.R.T., I’ve realised that I am passionate about working with others. I see how the people I work with grow in confidence too, and I’ve realised that art is so powerful. I like that I can make others feel worthy of themselves and comfortable.”

“Volunteering has helped me to feel more motivated. I have noticed an increase to my confidence, both here and outside. I think that volunteering here has made me better connected with adults too. I don’t feel judged, and the team genuinely care about my wellbeing.”

“Joining the course helped me grow in confidence and also helped me think about my career pathway”
