WHAT DOES IT COST?

Nothing. The group is completely FREE.
You wouldn’t charge your mates to come round and see you, this is the same
We are thinking of doing some merchandising at a later stage and we will be doing some paid events as well, you’re more than welcome to buy some swag or a discounted place at one of our events to help us raise funds to continue what we do, but its not required.

IS IT CONFIDENTIAL?

Yes. What you talk to your mates about in the groups should be kept confidential.
‘What you hear, who you see stays here.'
However. we have a duty of Safeguarding, if that arises, we will talk to you.
The aim is for you to feel comfortable enough to share and confident that if you share your issues or listen to someone else sharing in the group doesn’t get shared outside the group.
We can’t absolutely guarantee that 100% though.

CAN I TALK IN PRIVATE?

Yes.
We have confidential break out rooms in all the zoom calls, if you want to talk to one of us 1:1, we can do that too.
If you leave us your contact details, we can also arrange to chat to you outside teh group and of course you message us from the Facebook group
