Dave, Photography

I wish I’d done something like this 30 years ago. I’d have been able to enjoy taking a lot more photographs for a lot longer.

Susan, Self-esteem and Confidence Building

I’ve come out in myself, being here and meeting new people. It’s helped take me out of my little comfort zone. Doing my course is making me feel better in myself.
