This is a quote from one of our referral agencies:
‘I just wanted to send you an email thanking you for helping my clients over the past few weeks. I cannot emphasize enough what this regular amount of decent food has done for this couple and the work you do is extremely underestimated.
My clients have both put some much needed weight on and have found the strength to move. They are also now actively looking for a more permanent home’.
