Gill ensures that people can develop their ideas, confidence and skills to new levels. She uses encouragement, advice and guidance to create a safe environment for those both big and little to explore their inner creativity and dreams. Just as anything is possible in Roald Dahl’s books where one can easily meet ‘squiffers and splunkers’ who can ‘swizzle and swollop,’ so too in Gill’s classes, anything is possible and the results are always splendid and ‘fantabulous!’

Creativity is anything but airy-fairy, it's a core competence that future leaders will require to take up their seats in the workplace. It’s about possibility-thinking, tolerance, harnessing individuality and harvesting ideas considered unthinkable. It starts with allowing, nurturing, and celebrating the imagination. You go Gill, what an amazing gift you have to offer!

Imaginate is a wonderful place where we create magical trees and weave our dreams. We make Birthday Birds that make our birthdays fizzle with excitement. We turn mistakes into plans that make our pictures even more beautiful. At Imaginate we imagine everything! From the tiniest dream we get a big, wondrous wish. So Imaginate for me is a place where my mind runs free.
– Lucy Wagner, Imaginator (aged 10)
At our first meeting, as Gill was speaking, I got goosebumps! Gill’s words expressed my dreams for what it is to teach children. The dreams became real as I witnessed her create a space for thought, for play, for imagination, for association that allows children to be enriched, to blossom and realise their potential.
