Thank you all for your help and kindness you show Lisa and me. Thank you for a great month and at all times

Thank you from the bottom of my heart for showing how much you value my contribution as a volunteer carer for people with bigger needs than ours. I was so overwhelmed when I was granted this award. I give thanks that I have been granted the privilege to do this. With a massive BIG thank you.

It is difficult to know as Dean doesn’t tell us much, but as he came back beaming, we know he enjoyed his holiday. It was very much appreciated that Melanie took photos and sent them home with Dean, as otherwise, we don’t find out much at all about his week
Parent
Can’t thank Mark enough, for the 100% effort he put in while Daniel was in hospital. Keeping us informed at all times, and staying there with him so he wasn’t frightened and by himself. A big thank you to Mel for supporting the other participants. Have still washed all their clothes and they always come home as they went. Incredible two people. Thanks!
Parents
Being with friends, food, shows, the boat – all good. Can I go again….! I think that says it all
