  • "The Discovery Space meetings are a calm oasis in the tornado of every day life. A place to feel safe, to speak your mind without judgement, to seek advice or comfort, to laugh or cry or both and to feel totally supported in your community "

    Chris Cratchley

  • "Thank you Mahnaz for keeping the music going during lockdown. The Discovery Space was a great way to meet and keep the music going. 💗 Onwards with a community festival hopefully 🙂 I personally (along with others) have had my own pandemic struggles, the discovery space was a way to dip in and out when you could. Thank you 👏👏👏"

    Angela Struthers

  • "I've been coming to the Discovery space for a couple of years now. It is a place which is very accepting of all different types of people, and as a recovering alcoholic with not much confidence I felt these talks were really beneficial. Everybody made me feel really welcome. I really thank you for the different topics and different conversations, drawing, writing and really expressing how we feel about different topics. It’s something I’ve never really had in Chingford before. Thank you for the time and effort you give to it, Mahnaz and thank you to all the ladies and men I’ve met along the way - who have always made me feel very welcome. Thank you."
