Aspens Fest Featured on Spirit FM

Aspens' forthcoming virtual festival Aspens Fest 2020 was featured on Spirit FM yesterday.

The West Sussex based radio station interviewed event organiser Penny Piggott, Aspens' Head of Family and Specialist Support Services.

The weekend festival on 18 and 19 July is aimed at helping young people with ASC, mental health difficulties and/or SEND and their families cope as they make the transition back to school and day to day life after lockdown.

Robert White, Britain's Got Talent Runner Up, will be performing a specially written piece for Aspens Fest at the event.
