The courses you have given us were so invaluable we felt ready to tackle anything afterwards. We only wish we have found you earlier.

Not to be judged is worth more than anything, children don't come with a manual and you just help to make sense of everything in a supportive and safe way. Love you guys.

Thank you for being there - it means a-lot.

We are so pleased to hear that you have set up this invaluable organisation - we have found your help and support a great comfort. We were so lonely and isolated. We cannot wait to start attending your groups.

Thank you for everything- it is a pleasure to be part of your Youth club. I feel safe when I am there and I know I can talk to you about anything. You have given me loads of confidence and I now feel ready to go to Social scene.

Working together has empowered us to access the right support for our child and also realise we are not to blame for our child’s difficulties.

You are both special people who really care about the families and young people, honoured to be part of your journey.
