This year I continued to benefit from being at Oketree network.  I went to Bristol in February this year and this was a new experience for me as I have never been to a city like that before. I really enjoyed my time away. The staff were really supportive to me. 

Having friends through OTN is giving me a sense of belonging and acceptance. My confidence is growing all the time.  I can just be me.

I have also met new friends at OTN this year. I enjoy that OTN can arrange for me to meet them safely and the staff are amazing and look after us well.

I am looking forward to doing many more activities with OTN.

I am grateful that my time with OTN and Roots project means I am not isolated and continue to grow in confidence.
