It's great being different. Welcome to our very first newsletter. Behind all our green, brown, blue and grey eyes there are surprising, unique, incredible and amazing stories to be told.

Some of us are flourishing while many of us are finding it difficult. This is a chance for you to share who you really are and by doing this it will help others.
