I’ve become more social, it’s better than staying in. Group is an environment where people are in the same situation, and I’ve made new friends

Everything about group is so welcoming and kind, overall nice place to be and I’ve met lots of new friends since I started coming here.

Coming to group has really helped me develop as a person, from someone too shy to even speak, to someone who is happy to chat away and get involved in events, including helping organising LGBT fest. I also really enjoyed NCS with the group, Something I wouldn’t have got to do otherwise, and it really helped develop my independence for when I go to Uni

I was almost too scared to come but I’m glad I did because I haven’t been out of the house in 9 days, and I’ve made a new friend.

Supporting LGBT+ young people is great for boosting my own confidence and self esteem, I am grateful to URPotential for their warmth and encouragement.

Group has helped me with my mental health and helped give me something to look forward to look forward to each week, showing me new skills and making new friends, group helps me socialise with new people and is a safe place for me

I mean, getting the support from the groups meant everything to me this year – I gained so many new friends from the groups and I became a lot more comfortable with myself
