“THRIVE has offered women an opportunity to attend something with like-minded people, form bonds and friendships and go on to engage in further activities and groups in the community together that they otherwise would not have had the confidence to do. Some women have gone on to attend additional wellbeing courses, some have gone on to education and some have built the confidence to be able to start volunteering (some even with an aim of going back in to employment in the near future!). It’s been a great resource for the women who have attended and we’d love to see something similar for the men of the Wakefield district also.”

“It’s been an absolute pleasure working alongside BMTL. I feel so honoured to have been invited on to this important project. It was great having someone else take care of the bookings and logistics, which meant I could concentrate on creating the classes and holding space for the women who attended. Your communication was excellent all the way through the project and I understood exactly what was expected of me, where I needed to be and who would be attending each session. ”
