Review

"Hayley is a warm and knowledgeable facilitator. The workshop was pitched perfectly to the young people we work with. The themes were clear and consistent. The workshop was engaging, with interactive and discussion-based elements as well as reflective activities. Would highly recommend!" – Felicity Halstead, CEO of GoodWork
