Results - Qualitative
'The space was lovely, it was nice, you just didn’t feel penned in and if you really wanted to go off on your own you could do it ... how different it is and how your mind can work totally different to being in like a room - especially when you have got a really racing mind, it is amazing how that racing kind of stops………'
'I really couldn’t wait, saw my CPN yesterday and I was like “I can’t wait, I’m going tomorrow”.'
'I kind of energise cos I have isolated myself so much in the few years. I’ve realised that when you go out and do stuff and be with other people; while there is a risk things might go wrong you’re also opening yourself up to really positive experiences as well.'
