The Big Issues project began in 2008 and has reached more than 65 participants. In 2009 there were exhibitions in London of the artwork made by participants at The Belgravia Gallery and the Royal Society of Arts. As a result of the exhibition, artwork was purchased for private collections, the University of Surrey and the University for the Creative Arts, Farnham.
