Thank you very much for your help and guidance during the early morning private viewing. I found it thoroughly enjoyable and the talk was very informative. It was very nice to have the opportunity to see the paintings before it got extremely busy. It is often difficult to see the paintings from the wheelchair due to the lighting arrangements and often you have to reposition yourself around a painting; thus it made a great difference getting in earlier as it is easier to be manoeuvred around with less people around. It was my first visit to the academy and due to your help it was thoroughly enjoyed, so much that I am keen to attend further events that you may organise.

Thank you so much for arranging our visit to the 'Treasures from Budapest' exhibition. My husband enjoyed it enormously and found it a wonderful experience. It has helped us in thinking we can get out a bit more for him to regain some of his independence.

It was great to meet you and we were very impressed with how you gave us a wonderful time when visiting the Van Gogh exhibition. Indeed, we felt like Royals! Your initiative is the only way for disabled people to view such important exhibitions - we thank you very much.
