Our pilot Connect course - funded by the Communtiy Fund - ended last week and we've had some extremely positivr feedback from participants.
"give me a focus and a reason to get out of bed - i networked with others and it felt like a family"
"we had the support there when we needed it - it helped because we were not judged and were understood and encouraged."
"I really enjoyed the course as I learnt new skills, built my confidence and took part in different activities."
"The course felt like coming to a freindship group where i felt safe abd secure"
"It helped my mental health as it taught me to value myself and practice self-care"
