Local beneficiaries are having their lives changed thanks to these projects:

“I feel lucky to have come across this service. It has provided me with the opportunity to talk about and share my issues. I feel like I now have a wingman rather than having to venture into unknown territory alone.”

Working in partnership with organisations helps us to reach more beneficiaries and give back to local communities.
