Ruth is a keen champion for playing creatively with young children, and tries to do this in partnership with as many other champions as possible! She believes that all children gain huge benefits from creative and cultural opportunities within their learning, playing and being. How we go about building the capacity of the arts, cultural and educational sectors in order to enable children to have these opportunities, find their 'fit' in the bigger picture and still manage to cope with the challenges of a rapidly changing society, is the big question. One thing's for sure though, our kids are great people to be with!
