Some recent comments about Charlie’s work:

Emma Clifford, Earls High School:

'The Earls Students spent a fantastic day with Charlie. The activities planned were exciting, stimulating and enjoyable. All of the students joined in and created some brilliant and compelling poetry. Charlie managed to generate an atmosphere that created excitement amongst the students without being competitive. Many students commented on how much it had helped improve self esteem, speaking skills and team work. We are planning a repeat performance next year!'

Liza Dresner, director of Resources for Autism

'It was a wonderful session. It was amazing to see a group of teenagers sitting spellbound listening to a poem that named each of them and talked of their achievements. They then went on to write their own poems and the end of the evening saw a poetry performance by the entire group – something I would not have anticipated.'

Princes Trust,

'We were all delighted to have you there with us, hosting the Celebrate Success Awards.  You really helped to make the afternoon very professional, but also relaxed and fun, with a great atmosphere.  We've had lots of positive feedback from various guests on the afternoon, and offers of further support, which is fantastic. '

Chris Morgan, Birmingham Poet Laureate 2009/2010:

'Charlie Jordan knows all the secrets of how to perform poetry. Without her generous help and advice I would still just be reading my poems rather than performing them––and I wouldn't have become Birmingham Poet Laureate.
