We had some really positive feedback from those who attended the session:
"Mairi: What wonderful work, Garelochhead. Your video shows the value to a section of the community, often reserved in themselves, of learning new ways of using language, as the current speaker is explaining. Lived experience lying at the heart of it. Impressive"
"Jody Walker CDO Eday : The resettlement programs given by the military are insufficient (or they were 10 years ago) in preparing people for life outside of the services (one shoe does not fit all). So to see this kind of initiative is amazing, people who understand what you have gone/going through, not just during but after the transition to civilian life and beyond"
"Noreen : What a wonderful project and really highlights the value of peer/lived experience research. Thank you for sharing. Sorry I've had to keep my video off - bandwidth problems! also sorry I have to go now"
