Impact on our delegates

“I have completely stopped self-harm. Before STARS I would self-harm every couple of days. I now know where I want to be and how to get there. I have done so many other courses that have not worked, especially with my self-harm, but for the first time I’m free of my self-harm. I’m now positive about my future for the first time in years and I can’t thank STARS enough, I hope as many people as possible get the chance to do this course as its life changing”

“STARS introduced me to meditation, and I believe I’ll be using this for the rest of my life, it makes me more focussed, calm and brings a strong feeling of peace to my life”
“This course was 100% the most important course I’ve ever completed. I’m more confident, happy, and proud and feel nothing can stop me now for excellent well-being”

“Being a ‘lifer’, I’ve always had some concerns about re-offending or being ‘re-called’ but since doing STARS I’ve been guided in the right direction, I’ve finally learnt to believe in myself and accept I can help others as well as myself. I just hope and wish everyone gets the chance to do STARS, it will make not just prison but the whole world a better place for all”

Your funding will enable more individuals to achieve ‘life changing’ results.
