WAITS were absolutely overwhelmed when a simple enquiry led to the offer of not one but TWO sessions of pro bono training from The Impact Factory for our service users.


As part of the Self-Love workshops in February, senior consultants Janet and Lesley provided an insightful, enjoyable, fun and reflective workshop, ensuring to put the service users and their experiences at the heart of their training.

Person Centered

The sessions covered assertiveness and self-care which helped the service users with their confidence and self-esteem.

The Group had time to reflect on the choices they made and came away from the workshop understanding ways to be assertive and take

charge of their own lives.


We had a resounding thumbs-up from all participants for a fantastic and insightful session.

WAITS staff and service users would like to send a massive thank you

to Rose, Jo, Janet and Lesley at the Impact Factory for their

generosity and delivering an important and empowering

workshop to our service users.


We hope we will do more of these in the future.
