Testimonials

We have been so privileged to work with an incredibly talented and brave cohort of young people over the years on our legacy platform, Haringey Unchained, and to have had the support from our peers and colleagues to shape and develop this project to reflect the imagination of our community.

Here are testimonials from students and partners who have worked directly with and for Haringey Unchained. The spirit of that original project is now disseminated by our alumni members who have created our new face: CreativityUnleashed. Please note that many of these students have now become our Editorial Team on CreativityUnleashed.

Students' Words

“To me, Haringey Unchained has always been a place where I could express my art and feel encouraged and supported by the other members of the group. Not only does Haringey Unchained provide a platform for art but also a community. In fact, one of my favourite things about the enrichment was the community I found myself in. Haringey Unchained has been a project that has helped many of us to convey, find and own our voices. I would recommend it to anyone who wants to be heard, and to anyone who wants to express their art freely with no boundaries.”

"Haringey Unchained and Creativity Unleashed provides a voice for marginalised communities. It’s an inclusive space that allows individuals to share their stories on two platforms, a blog and a magazine. As a Haringey Unchained alumni and Creativity Unleashed member, I learned about various creative mediums of artistic expression. I am grateful to be part of both Haringey Unchained and Creativity Unleashed. I was given opportunities to further my skills and be a part of a team that encourages and supports one another. I strongly recommend Haringey Unchained and Creativity Unleashed to anyone interested in discovering new skills and gaining work experience."

"Even though I haven’t been part of the Haringey Unchained family from the beginning of its creation, I have witnessed first hand how much it evolved over the years. The magazine provides creatives with a platform that lets them exhibit their work and share their art. As an editor of the 4th issue, I had the chance to read and review submissions. The wonderful content that was produced was truly inspiring and reassured me that there is a want and need for creative outlets such as Haringey Unchained’s magazine and blog. I feel extremely lucky to be part of the editorial team, which is made up of incredibly talented and dedicated individuals. Seeing how far the magazine has come, expanding internationally and reaching a wider audience, thanks to the amazing team behind the project fills me with great joy."

"Haringey Unchained means everything to me. From the first session I fell in love with the project – how the sessions ran, how much work everyone put into their pieces, how much the members supported one another and were always aware of how new members might feel. Haringey Unchained offered so much good energy and love not only for the editorial team and its writers, but to the magazine’s audience as well. The project has always welcomed every kind of artist there is, and given people, especially the younger generations, a platform where their voices truly matter and are indeed heard by those willing to listen. I will continue being a part of Haringey Unchained as much as I can as it will always have a special part in my heart. The enrichment has helped me get through some rough times and I have learned so many things that I am still applying to my writing today.”

“Small things like encouragement to be brave and taking the time to talk about our work was what made our group special to me. I was (and am) a very shy person, I never would have tried to do something like that. I looked forward to our meetings each time.”

"Haringey Unchained is a safe place where, within the noise of our interior and exterior worlds, solace, understanding and community can be found- no matter how loud the racket may be. I've discovered the importance of creative expression in aiding young people to navigate the complexities of life, especially living in an environment where the mere existence of such opportunities is unknown to many. "

“To me, Haringey Unchained was a sisterhood where creative growth bloomed with support and encouragement from other members and staff. It gave many of us a chance to explore our voice and express ourselves, whilst also tackling difficult topics such as mental health.”

“This group of young people brings out the best of one another, as everyone grows individually and as artists, putting our voices across through art. With the encouragement from the group and the fearless leader Angie, not only has everyone’s work grew in confidence the group is ever expanding and broadening their horizons with a vision in mind."

“The Unchained programme is so much more to me than an extracurricular or a publication: it’s an escape; it’s a laugh; it’s a challenge, it’s the beginning of the prologue to the rest of my journey. PS: Angie’s a veritable rockstar!”

“Haringey Unchained for me was my place of refuge. It was one of the few times when I could express my feelings and actually be listened. It was also like a life coaching programme, where we could make art out of life experiences and work through some difficult feelings."

Edith
Current Member of Creativity Unleashed

“Haringey Unchained should no longer be referred to as an enrichment or “club” . I have now seen with two clear eyes how this project has matured into its own organisation with links to universities and other secondary to enrich not only a select few students, but open it to the whole population through a singular vessel that is accessible to all which is the magazine. I love this project."

Words of Professionals

It was such a pleasure talking to you guys. This was so important for me to share my life experience with you. I couldn’t say no to that. I love you guys and hope to meet you and all the other students one day."

“When the opportunity arose for me to jump onto the Creativity Unleashed train I simply could not resist. Being able to spearhead the Haringey Sixth Form arm of this project for the last 2 years has been rewarding, enlightening and lots of fun. The students I get to create with are nothing short of inspirational. It’s an absolute privilege to be involved in such an amazing project, a project that champions the voices of young people in a way that is rarely seen in an educational environment. A project that is so necessary for the unheard voices in our communities. Freedom to express ourselves is something that is so fundamentally important to mental health and wellbeing, so projects like this one are vital. I’m very proud to be able to say that I work with Creativity Unleashed, and all of the talented people that are involved with the project.”

Emma Chambers

English Teacher at Haringey Sixth Form College

This is fantastic work; it really does advocate for the inclusion of creative writing in English courses. I applaud the work that Angie undertakes on behalf of and with our students. She is second to none in exploring the benefits of using creative writing activities. This is going the extra mile again and one of the reasons the students achieve outstanding outcomes in English here at Haringey Sixth Form College. This additionally creates active learners and facilitates further student understanding of literary work. It is aligned with our college value of achieving excellence in everything we do, inspiring that deeper commitment to excellence; it really does motivate the students and helps with group bonding.”
