We are hoping all of the above, due to a local lockdown will help stimulate our members minds whilst being online virtually with one another, talking through each experience from both the past and present, we are hoping it will stem confidence and support amongst the group to get over their anxieties and fears, ready to return to the real world with nothing but motivation for a job.
