This community has given me my life back. it has given me the best gift in the world – myself.
before I came to the BRAVE · Notts Community I didn’t have any self-esteem, I had a massive wall around me, and no one was getting in.
Within a week my wall came crumbling down. The women I have met and the friendships I have formed through this community have changed my life.
I am forever grateful for BRAVE · Nottingham, especially Ray. She is an amazing woman.
