“Attending the Introduction to Community Sponsorship course was an incredibly positive experience even though I was apprehensive before joining the session. The trainer was not only friendly and approachable but also highly knowledgeable. She gave me the confidence to set up my own sponsorship group, knowing that I had someone supportive to turn to whenever I needed guidance or reassurance.”
