What participants have been saying
“It’s a soothing situation to be put in. There's a cup of tea, there's a biscuit. There's friendly faces. Let's just chat. Yeah, discover things about each other because I think through all that lockdown, a lot of us have forgotten how to be curious.’’

“Everything's been really helpful. It's just, it's allowing me to reflect on my own limitations and also what I want to improve. What’s Your Story? helps you to find what you enjoy. So it's mainly reflecting on myself. It's helped with my confidence and just speaking comfortably’’

"(WYS)…inspired me so much and spread so much positivity and created an environment where us women could express ourselves so comfortably. The experience also allowed me to step outside my comfort zone with the role play and drama tasks and I do feel more confident in that area."
