Luke – Tullamore CTC

Luke, a learner from Tullamore CTC, tell us about how he got on with The B!G Idea in 2023.

“We chose the challenge for men’s Mental Health. We need to start trying to do more for men in that way. So they’re able to feel comfortable being able to talk. Get out of their like, get out their comfort zone to talk to make it better for them.”

Luke was one of our SUPERSTAR learners from Tullamore CTC in Offaly, and a member of their winning team HopOut!
