What some of our clients say about us:

I would encourage schools, workplaces and clubs to attend this workshop. It's very worthwhile educating people about racism, I thoroughly enjoyed the course and found it very interesting, I learnt a lot along the way

Jacob Guy

Sport Development Officer

Torfaen Council
We had No Boundaries visit our school and the pupils really enjoyed learning about racism and hearing from Sean who provided his own personal experiences alongside activities he delivered. I would really encourage other schools to get in touch with No Boundaries who delivered the work in an engaging manner and we all learnt a lot

Cerys Allen

Ysgol Bro Banw

Carmarthenshire
The session was excellent, it was really engaging, all members got involved in it. The way Sean presents it is really engaging, really helps break down some of the nervousness people have in dealing with the issues that we raised. I really like to recommend the training to everyone

Anthony Hunt

Leader of Torfaen Council
I would definitely recommend No Boundaries TC for staff training, supporting schools in challenge racism. The sessions help staff to develop a better understanding of terminology and initiate difficult conversations in a non-threatening environment, creating much food for thought

Jane Jones

Deputy Head teacher

Brilliant training session in depth reason behind words and phrases that help everyone understand why these words shouldn't be used. The positive changes No Boundaries are making are inspiring to young people

Paige Price

Residential Care Worker

Keys Group
You have something very special here, with your combination of passion, personal experience, relationship with one another and a clear journey and goal. I think that the training is important for society and if this starts in workplaces first and moves across to social and community groups, you will have a direct impact on happiness, safety and togetherness. The delivery of the training was great, really enjoyable and I feel you achieved making the uncomfortable, comfortable for training session. I'm looking forward to our team experiencing this training too. I thank you for this, as a professional, parent and person!

Rachel Rogers Service Manager

Keys Group

Children's residential services
I found the session very informative and slightly uncomfortable at times, but it was a good uncomfortable. I think people don't understand what's racist and what isn't therefore understanding the history behind terms was really useful as I now have a better understanding of how hurtful some phrases and words can be

Prison Officer

HMP Warren Hill
WOW. What an amazing professional, team that make the uncomfortable comfortable and empowered me to think before I speak and where terms come from

Teacher

Nant Y Pant Primary school

Caerphilly
No Boundaries delivered a fantastic session which really challenged my thinking about racism in a supportive and non-judgmental way and helped clear up misconceptions which have been perpetuated by the media

Education Achievement Service (EAS) staff member
Sunil and Sean provide a comfortable environment to discuss the uncomfortable topics and provide the realization that we shouldn't be uncomfortable talking about it; education is the key to making change

Caerphilly Council staff member
The session was incredibly thought provoking and useful. Though I am aware that racism is a definite problem in our schools I was not aware that these issues would start as early as primary school, the session inspired the importance to challenge any racial injustices that could crop up
