Testimonials

Claire has been of incalculable help to me, after months of attempting the paperwork myself & getting nowhere Claire has a real help, a light in the dark doesn’t cover how much her assistance has meant to me. She’s timely, a friendly face & on her last visit stayed late just to help me.

Thank you so much for all of your help and support for our client and their family, it is greatly appreciated. I just wanted to say that I think that your Prevention Matters service is brilliant. It is one of the most helpful services that I refer into and makes supporting our patients so much easier knowing that we have services like yours in place.

So just a big thanks to you and your colleagues.

You have been fantastic. The benefit for rent has already been reinstated. Thank you so much for talking with me it really helped. I wouldn’t be here without you, you don’t know how much your support has meant to me but it has been invaluable. Thank you.

Prevention Matters client

Things have massively got better for me. And I have you to thank for that, you got me on the right path, I’ll be forever grateful. I can’t thank you enough for giving me an initial push. You’ve helped me so much and you probably don’t realise that. I’m not out of the woods yet, but I’m on the right path now. Thank you for everything.
