Testimonials

Here’s what people who were helped through our last employability programme said about us!

‘I suffer from depression and anxiety . Through my co-ordinator Annie I was able to source professional help and have come away from this programme in a better frame of mind personally. Thanks to Annie’s patience and understanding my mental health, whilst not in any way perfect, is much better than it was when I started.’

‘The support that Dawn and Tina provided me with is something I will never forget. What I achieved with them in under 3 months is something that neither job centre, nor restart could do in 2+ years. I’m grateful.’

‘The all-round support has been exceptional I have been supported emotionally and I have been given the push and advice needed to restart my career.’
