British Loose Leaf (BLL) is a company based in Kent that designs and manufactures folders, ring-binders and files. From their range of school supplies, BLL generously donated a folder to each secondary school child attending the project. The products are a work of creation themselves; known as ‘Create-Your-Own’, they allow students to use their own design ideas and interests to create a unique and fun place to store their schoolwork. ‘I like the folders because they are artistic and creative; you can make them unique to match your personality…they are so different to other folders you can buy in any shop.’ Georgia, 14.
‘I enjoyed making the folder remind me of ReachOut!,’ Abiola, 13
Cass Art consists of 5 art shops around London and aspires to ‘fill this town with artists’. Supplying both professionals and amateurs with top-quality creative materials, Cass Art kindly gave ReachOut! access to their extensive range of stock for school children. Much of the selection combines creativity with learning, a key aspect of the summer project. 
The Art classes this summer included a collage of footprints (above) entitled 'When I grow up' and posters where students worked to represent ReachOut! and their experiences visually. The Art and Drama classes at the programme were taught by Rosie and Chipie, 'We are really grateful for the equipment that was donated this year, the kids had a lot of fun!'
ReachOut! would like to thank Cass Art and British Loose Leaf for their generosity this summer. http://www.cassart.co.uk/ Their flagship store is in Islington.
