This week We hear about a brilliant new mural project on the Ipswich Waterfront, explained through the voices of young people. Run by ARTEATS this brought the community together to help to collaboratively paint a large panel along some hoardings in Ipswich. 

It was National Mental Health Awareness Week last week, West Suffolk College students had a special conversation with 3 guest speakers to talk about their own mental health and how they look after themselves. The speakers we have are as follows:
