Feedback from Hub attendees
"Going to the hubs means I get access to information that I might otherwise miss. I get useful information from the speakers, and it helps me feel more confident."
"I'm always lonely when I'm at home, but I'm much less lonely when I go to the hub. Going to the hub gives me the opportunity to make new friends and get support."
"Being part of the community is such a nice feeling, and I'm glad that the hubs let me keep this sense of community."
