I came to Open Minds, because my curiosity got the better of me though I'm glad it did. The people there are really friendly and we have a lot in common apart from our disabilities. All of us have got gaps in our lives and a group like this supports us find fresh experiences.

Since joining the group I've found a sense of confidence from working on a presentation and talking at a care home. It was the biggest challenge I had ever faced, but I was supported all the way. Now facing new experiences isn't really as frightening as it once seemed, as recently I learnt to horseride - scary or what!!
