What Our Young People and Volunteers Say

·       “I look forward to my monthly visits, its time just for me, I choose my activity and we have fun together.”

·       “I like how my Independent Visitor isn’t anything to do with social services and is here to support me, not to judge.”

·       “They have boosted my confidence. Now I feel like when I go places I can just relax and have fun.”

·       “My young person always looks forward to me coming. They have had such a disjointed life; I am a stable figure in their life and this has to be important for them as everything else changes around them a lot.”
