What our Families Think….. “Having someone there to encourage and cheer me on has made the biggest difference to my confidence.” “It feels great to have someone who isn’t judging me and who understands.” “I love [my volunteer]. She is really helping me to see things differently.” “I am so grateful for your support. Thanks for checking in on me, it is so reassuring!”
