Lisa had left school and home at 16, pregnant, she told us how by holding classes in places that were accessible to her made a huge difference to whether she made the decision to go or not.
I'd been out of education for a long time so it was a big step to take that first step back in to the classroom. It was frightening and nervous time. All I remembered was the teacher relationship at school that I didn't like but I immediately felt comfortable here. By the time I finished the course I was happy to put my hand up because my confidence had grown so much.
