Bryony is an inspirational woman and an absolutely brilliant mentor! GLT is a very special place where lives really can be changed for the better in strength and confidence building through overcoming seemingly impossible situations, and naturally empowering others on their path to realising they too, can do the same! What a wonderful testimony to hope and renewal through the power of nature with the support of kind people who really do care.
