"It's great to be supporting Shine week.

"The festival is an excellent way of harnessing and nurturing all talents in young people from the more traditional ones to things like cooking and sewing. It's a really good opportunity for schools to find a talent in every child, and to help young people realise their potential. It would have been great to have had the opportunity to participate in Shine when I was at school."
