Speaking Out Forum has helped our members to gain confidence and it has given them a new found voice, which has been inspiring to witness.
Esty Bruck, Programme Director at Friendship Circle
The Speaking Out Forum programme provided a valuable opportunity for our young people to find confidence in speaking out about issues that are important to them as young people with special educational needs. The mentors could see the confidence growing over the course of the programme.

We believe the work that has been done with Speaking Out Forum has made a real difference to the lives of those taking part. The project has increased people's confidence and given them a voice. It has been a real journey for those taking part, and in many ways the start of another journey.
