"Working with Charlene and her students was an excellent experience, having the opportunity to work with such intelligent, funny and insightful young people was I feel, both beneficial to them and to me. Programmes like this are not just important but essential for all young people no matter their cultural background. A firm grounding in ones history and a strong sense of self is paramount in ensuring well rounded and productive adults. Well done Charlene and her team very proud to have been part of the programme."

I-dentity is a credit to Charlene Wilkinson who has used the experiences and knowledge gained through her own academic journey to educate others about their own cultural heritage.
I would strongly recommend I-dentity as an excellent addition to any school or youth organisation.

Hi Miss Wilkinson, I would firstly like to congratulate you for creating a workshop/course which focussed on the rich cultural history and contribution of the afro-Caribbean community in the UK - past, present and hopefully future. Rianna has found the course very stimulating and inspiring and it's motivated her to ask for first hand experiences from family members i.e. Grandparents. The course has given her a new found focus and has improved her attitude and awareness which has improved her effectiveness at school and her relationship to her peers and family, again thank you.

Charlene’s message - Educate to Elevate - was quickly seen to be at the core of her work with young people. Using a mixture of educational techniques, Charlene successfully worked with groups of students to develop their academic and pastoral success. So it is no surprise to find her offering her expertise in a wider field, and I would recommend her programme to any institution looking to enhance their students’ achievements.

I am writing to thank you for running this beneficial and much needed identity programme. My daughter Danielle Atkinson attended your last course and as a result gained such knowledge, confidence and self awareness. Danielle often shared her new found experiences of the programme with myself and her sibling and found the motivational speakers enlightening and inspirational.
I truly believe that these programmes have a rightful place on the educational curriculum once again thank you & well done.

I want to thank Miss Wilkinson for inviting Dj Kumfy and myself to share our knowledge and experience in our careers. These students are the future and it’s important they understand and have good knowledge of their past as well as what is needed to be successful in the future. This has been a positive experience for me.
Thank you and good luck with future programmes.
