Episode 2:37 Inspirational Women of Portsmouth : Hazel Mallinson-Nesmith

"Children don't have the magic for long enough and this Christmas... I really wanted to create that magic (with) the North Pole Elf Company and ... wanted to help families create memories that were really tangible and weren't necessarily through a screen.... we gave away a number of visits (people nominated families who had a particularly difficult year) ..the nominations and stories that came out of it were incredible ....".

As part of this year's Inspirational Women of Portsmouth Awards, we took the opportunity to hear from some of the women nominated for being inspirational. Hazel is founder of  Black Heart Theatrical  and in this episode she speaks to Shamila Dhana about  having to overcome the challenge of transferring an interactive creative practice online. This has included an online interactive Bedtime Stories project, The North Pole Elf Company, and an online parent club with practical, creative advice and ideas.
