Here is a sample of the feedback from people who have attended Writing Well
“I was so pleased by my family’s reaction – they were so positive, and it helped us to talk about everything. It’s just so wonderful that the course has helped both me and my family.” JACKIE
The course grounds me and makes me realise I’m stronger than I think. It pushes me out of my comfort zone. MARK

I enjoyed meeting new people and making friends. I was new to the area and I was able to make a conenction with my community. I am a more confident writer and reader and also enjoy the Speaking Well sessions. AMELINA
I gained so much confidence through reading out and using meditation at home. DANA
Getting more positive by keeping busy. Keep observing life and jotting down thoughts in my notebook. CHRIS
I always wanted to write a book and now I’m working at getting one published in November. Meeting the author and being able to ask him questions has helped me focus. BERNIE
Everyone is lovely and I don’t feel nervous anymore. I’ve learnt so much about poems and prose. All is good. TERI
“I don’t write daily but whenever I feel a bit overloaded I use writing to support my wellbeing – it helps me not to go down the ‘rabbit hole’ of depression – and if I do it takes less time to get out of the rabbit hole. I can communicate feelings I can’t say to my friends and I can’t see it rationally until I write it down. When the letter to my future- self came to me through the post I was really pleased to see it. Receiving the letter meant a great deal to me – especially as I written it to myself – it reminded me to be kind to myself- compassion is so important. It reminded me that everything passes and there will be sunshine after the clouds. There is definitely positivity in the world” LOUISE
