How this project supported Ragdoll Foundation aims

This was an imaginative and relevant application to add value to the Gramophone’s touring production, Aidy the Awesome. Child’s voice and quality of arts engagement were both good and the trustees felt strongly in favour of projects that challenge pink / blue gender stereotyping.
