Channel 4's The Piano winner Brad Kella, who himself is foster careexperienced, has just finished touring with former Take That star Gary Barlow.

Despite having a hectic schedule, Brad jumped at the opportunity to spend some of his time off visiting young people with similar backgrounds to his own.

He received a letter from one of the Paisley-based school's teachers and was told they share his passion for creating music.

The champion pianist spent time at Kibble - a specialist care and education provider - performing and connecting with young people who are working towards their arts award qualifications - using his music and journey as direct inspiration.

"I visited Kibble and it was the most I've smiled in a long time," said Brad.

"The love and passion for music streamed throughout the classroom. I shared my story with kids and let them know anything was possible in life.
