What you say about us...

Amazing - couldn’t have wanted anything more! Listens and helps me deal with things without judgements. Makes me feel that I am important and now can deal with situations that I wouldn’t have known how to deal with before.
Wonderful to meet people in simular situations to me. Fantastic service and a lifeline when you feel isolated.
I have never felt so looked after through domestic violence. I was supported many years ago and it has come forward so far and i'm grateful for the support. You have been amazing, thank you so much. You are brilliant and i will let you go and help others like me now. They will have a great support from you.
Life saving, confidence building. Time to move on now. I can smile. The facilitators are friendly experts that do not judge. Thank you.
