Robyn, 22, SAFELINK for Comic Relief. “I was raped by a stranger. He left me by the side of the road. It hasn’t been easy but I won’t let it wreck my life. The project gave me the confidence to walk and travel on my own again. It’s changed me, but I feel like I am a stronger person now.”

Gizmo, 27, Fight4Chance for Comic Relief. “I grew up in an area where trouble was always around the corner. I ended up in a youth offender institution at 16 but was acquitted of all charges. I lost my confidence and had no path. When I started boxing that all changed. The gym was my escape. Now I run boxing sessions for kids who remind me of my young self.”
“As a child, I had this inability to feel comfortable, but I could not put my finger on why. Meeting someone who is trans was a massive eye opener. As I transitioned, people shouted at me in toilets. I was physically threatened. It’s not just an internal battle, you are fighting the world as well. But when I walked through the project’s door, all my fear and anxiety went away.” Photographed in Brighton, UK for Comic Relief
Alice, EDUCATE Stockport for Comic Relief. “I met my husband Ron when I was 16 and he died in 1994. Since I’ve had dementia, I wake up in the morning and think he’s still around. After a few minutes, I remember he is dead and everytime it feels like a smack in the face. The project completely changed my outlook on dementia. I realised what seemed like the end of my life was really a new beginning.”
