"Time for myself to relax & gives me pleasure to see my daughter going out" "It's good to know there is an organisation to help" "Respite gives me a much needed break away from a stressful situation and makes me feel more able to cope" "Help and support during my wife’s illness makes all the difference to my life. Before this service I felt that there was no help available" "I now have time to myself each week to plan to do something for myself" "My son looks forward to going out every week and enjoys his activities which give him an opportunity to go out with other people rather than myself and my husband” "The support I receive helps to sustain us as a family and has helped enormously as we have lived through great difficulties” “I feel more supported, less alone” |
