I am very glad and grateful that I could undertake this trip as it was wonderful to experience the musical life of other countries and cities. The experiences I have gained will inform my growing teaching, performing and compositional practices in Australia.

I am really grateful for the opportunity that BBM Youth Support has given me and I know that without it I wouldn't have the ideas, knowledge and extra drive that I have. Thank you for the chance to grow.

I was awarded the BBM Youth Support Award for Agriculture, and it only got better from there, a trip that covered 12 countries, lasted 6 months, 6 dairies, 1 genetics stud, 1 gelato bar and 1000s of cows, what more could you ask for.

I have seen places I never thought I’d get to see and experienced the United Kingdom’s agricultural industry in a light that few would get to see.

Big Brother Movement
