Real people, real stories
“When children with special educational needs get to 18 all the summer camps and things stop. All of the things we did with Together Co, the volunteering, it has given us more options so Jay can go and have great experiences.”
“I love talking to Shapla; she teaches me things and I teach her things. Seeing and speaking to her gives me things to talk about and makes my brain work a bit better than it used to. I would not be without her.”
“I always feel better after Liz has visited. From our time together, I’ve learnt you can make a new friendship at any age.”
“Mark […] was very patient with me when I couldn’t walk too far. He didn’t put any pressure on me. I feel a lot more confident and have started going on walks independently.”
“The Winter Warmer is great. It gets us out and meeting new people. There are some lovely new people here, and I’ve made friends that I’m catching up with here, too.”
“It’s lovely to get to know somebody new where it’s a friendship, not just a polite interaction.”
