'STRIDE' Harlow Members have graduated! The first 6-Month Life Skills Programme came to a close this week, with members celebrating their achievements at a graduation party. In this bonus episode, we hear from our members and their families about what STRIDE meant to them.

We are so proud of our first EVER group of STRIDE Graduates and we can't wait to launch the next 6-month programme in Uttlesford.

A huge thank you to the staff, volunteers, supporters and funders, in particular The National Lottery Community Fund, that made STRIDE possible and of course, to our members and their families for helping to make the first STRIDE programme such a joy and a success.

Sue is joined by Comedians Mel Byron and Luke Poulton and Events Manager Jess from Season's Bar Woodford to talk all things Comedy in the lead up to our Charity Comedy Night in Woodford, Friday 29th April.
