'Not Lost' Book
Three of our People First Dorset Members (Kerry, Emily & William) have been hard at work writing their first book!

Based on the adventures of the famous Susie the Dorchester Cat, this wonderfully illustrated hardback book has something for everyone.

What we do
William's story
- in his own words
I only used to have one friend, very little confidence and had hate crime.
The Friendship Club at People First Dorset changed all that. Thanks to this club I now have lots of friends who I see at events and some I’ve learnt to meet independently.
I volunteer for the charity like helping raise awareness, I feel good, I’m healthier and I even write a weekly column in our local paper. Life is good now.
