She has listened to him and his needs. Made suggestions about services that he may benefit from and followed up by taking him to the ones that he has shown an interest in. His confidence has increased as a result of the co-ordinators input.

You are an angel, I thought everyone had forgotten me, but you are the only person I have talked to today. Thank you for making my day.
What people say about us
Testimonials
Just wanted to say thank you. Thomas has said, when CAMHS signed him off he felt like his security net was gone. He said you have made him feel like it could be coming back. He was listening to you and thinks that you seemed to understand better that other services have. Again, thank you
What people say about us
Testimonials
It is an activity that I enjoy. I enjoy supporting people, I meet new people & I have made friends. When there are enough leaders there, I don’t have to be there every week.
