4. Parents and carers were asked to identify things they like about The Open Doors Project.
           
P's family wrote: "The fact that P. is with people who understand that he can be a little different, and it gives him the opportunity to try something different and mix with others."
A's family wrote: "Love that it is a social outing with people with people they know but still trying new things."
U's family wrote: "The fact that U. has been able to build his self-confidence and social skills through the activities provided by The Open Doors Project."

W's family wrote: "The project was good and exciting for my child. My child loved it."
 
5. Parents and carers were asked to identify things we could do better, and new things they would like to see in the next year.
Y's family would like to see: "Educational trips and sports."
U's family suggested: "U. really likes gardening so more activities like this would be great, and possibly bike riding would be another suggestion."
A and E's family would like longer sessions: "Maybe doing 4 hours."
