"Thoroughly enjoyed the kids singing and dancing - something new this year. There were lots of encouraging statistics and figures - just to prove how well Shaping are doing, and the efforts of all the Business Partners, too. We have a Great Waterfront City - to live in, work in and enjoy."
"Fantastic broad range - some serious, some fun - loved the inclusion of the kids"
"Blown away - the best one ever! Such a rich and varied range of content, from celebration to tears, from laughter to focus. Just wonderful."
"Very emotional (in a good way!). Don't think I have cried like that for years!"
"Brilliant event as always - but made even more special by the young performers."
"The overall feel was very uplifting with a huge emphasis on community."
"The content just gets better every year, Hannah Prowse's talk in particular was excellent. It's always so uplifting to hear the good being done across the city."
"Level of content was great - very inspiring and relevant. Enjoyed the involvement of schools - kept you engaged and smiling. Challenge is on to make it even better next year!!"
"Content was great. Fast paced and diverse which meant you were always engaged."
