Dave Newton - Director of National Ministries Youth For Christ (Pure Trustee)

“I have been involved with the work of Pure now for over four years and am constantly impressed by the high levels of commitment, professionalism, innovation and creativity they strive for and deliver. I am convinced that the methods and message of Pure will have a significant impact in the education and esteem of many girls and young women across
Merseyside.”

Mrs Troughton Ainsdale High School

“Your work is invaluable - ‘breaking the mould’ and making a very relevant contribution to education for this generation."

Nic Harding- Senior Pastor Frontline Church

“Having known Pure's director, Tamsin over the past nine years I have had the opportunity to see the vision for Pure grow and develop and believe Pure to be a God inspired and very much needed resource for Merseyside schools. Pure is a fantastic organisation that tackles issues that at present form a gap in our young peoples education. I believe in and support wholeheartedly Pure's vision to take God's truth into the school environment and see this generation of young women grow up with good self esteem, confidence to make good life decisions and ultimately to know their identity in God."

Mr Woodcock Maghull High School

“The reaction of the pupils and their response in the discussion groups showed that they were affected by the work Pure Creative Arts had done with them during the afternoon ... They did not want to stop when the bell went at 3:20, that says it all!".

Cor van der Woude Youth Officer

“Pure is a group that combines enthusiasm and professionalism with a clear message for young people of the 21st century".

Jo Wells- Youth Worker for Maghull Baptist Church.

“Having worked with Pure in Maghull High School and Maricourt School I have seen 'Pure's vision to help girls discover and live in the freedom of their God given identity first hand and think the way it works is brilliant...it's great to work with them!”
