Service User Feedback
Such great feedback from one of our service users, which highlights one of our great strengths as a team. “They show genuine compassion for us” - It is one thing to understand the difficulties and suffering of a person but it is another thing to let it move you to action, to help ease those difficulties and suffering.
We are Celebrating!
Last week we celebrated with one of our service users as he was allocated a property on release.

Service User Feedback
At WYCCP, one of the key qualities of our staff, is that we go the extra mile for our service users. We genuinely believe that their past doesn’t have to dictate their future, so walking alongside them to encourage them into that future, is so vitally important.
