My son has received certificates (via Koestler) for two of his artworks. He said it's possible they could be displayed in an exhibition, even 'sold'.

Its so good to hear him feeling proud of his achievements.

Please pass on my congrats to your son, Smile. I tell mine that if he gets a custodial sentence he should use the time to pursue something he's always wanted to do and hearing of someone who has done just that is encouraging amongst all the fears and anxiety about coping with life 'inside' x

Good advice rainy..... get those Apps in and apply for everything...... having a job and keeping occupied is extremely important for your mental health, keeping the mind active, and it makes the time pass more quickly. Remember these courses/education are free.......

There's lots on offer - although some courses/activities are in high demand and you have to wait. Also you earn (albeit a pittance) some cash.

Fingers crossed for your son and hopefully he won't be looking at a custodial sentence xx
