Fiona Simpson

Children's Activities Provider User Group

An award winning entrepreneur, franchisor and the founder of children's art business ARTventurers, Fiona is passionate about the benefits of getting children involved in creative activities from a really early age to help them to develop skills and confidence - and is often found covered in paint herself! As well as heading up the ARTventurers franchise team and supporting their branches across the UK, Fiona is a Forbes Senior Contributor and is the Committee Director for the Children's Activities Association annual conference, bringing activity providers of all shapes and sizes together to learn, develop and support each other.

I'm very excited to be part of a project with the aim of encouraging and supporting even more grandparents to join in with children's activity classes. We have lots of grandparents already attending ARTventurers sessions up and down the country with their grandchildren and it's so lovely to see them spending quality time together, bonding over the activities, developing new skills together and creating some really special memories.
