feedback from our trials...
— It made me talk to loads of other Friends...it gave me a good excuse to do what I wanted to do anyway.”
— “Both of us ...learned so much through the Becoming Friends project and felt the whole experience had been a
blessing.”
— "I’ve found things I’d like to do myself and I’m a Friend of twenty five years’ experience. It’s stimulating stuff."
