I just want to send a quick email to thank yourself, Lorraine and (staff) for an incredible weekend. It was really empowering to be surround by individuals who have similar lived experiences. It really brought a sense of togetherness and built confidence to live authentically. What an incredible service you have built, it is great to see the impact you have on our lives and the potential for the future. You and the staff/volunteers are truly angels.

Just sending an email to thank you and your team so much for hosting such an incredible, informative and important workshop at the weekend. 

 

I am beyond grateful to have connected with you and the others who attended. This workshop has fuelled a fire within me and I'd love nothing more than to be more involved with A Safe Space to Be Me, to learn as much as I can to advocate and support this cause and community further.
