How this project supported Ragdoll Foundation aims

This application was strong, clear, well-argued, and well-articulated. It was straightforward and compelling, without unnecessary jargon. It demonstrated a strong commitment to reaching out, listening to, and involving young people in rural Cambridgeshire with limited opportunities to engage in the visual arts. The project is strategic and ambitious, and the trustees were confident that it will engage its target group and achieve its aims.
