Ultimately, I can’t speak highly enough of Lee and the Gaydio team for facilitating such an amazing day for the young people. Lee made a massive positive impact on the confidence, communication skills and wellbeing of the young people – thank you so much!

The environment Lee created throughout the session was so welcoming, positive, inclusive, and encouraging a true testament to Gaydio’s values. This really showed when he supported the slightly nervous young people (and staff!) through their radio demo
