“The only way to beat hatred is by giving out love instead…” - Pauline

[Performing Resistance @performresist]

About to start! Exciting discussion and workshop LIVE from Hull and Ashton with the amazing ‘We Shall Overcome’…

[Performing Resistance @performresist]

“I loathe the term service users.”

Pauline talks about treating people as human beings, about being accessible and not having unnecessary barriers.

“Hungry is hungry - you shouldn’t need to be a performing seal to access compassion.”
