James, who has been part ofthe community for over a year, says: “Last year,I would never have been able to attend anevent like this with so many people.

That’s inspiring.”Like many others, Naomi took a while to buildthe courage to attend but having joined theTruro Meet Ups from April, she says “I loveQuiet Connections and I’m so pleased I tookthat first step.
