“Together women have helped me every step of the way. They have helped me get my own place and get a good job, I’m so grateful to Fiona for all her support. She is always there for me and I couldn’t of done this well without her. I am volunteering to help out with prisoners that are in a similar situation to the one I was in because it’s such a lonely, sad place to be. I think everyone who gets support from together women are so much more likely to succeed. I wanted to say thank you to Fiona for everything. I know I’ve got another year of support yet but I’m so grateful!”

“The mental health team introduced me to Together Women because my depression was so bad. This has had such a big impact on my life, it’s given me back my confidence. I’m much braver now. I used to just sit around doing nothing but now I’m much healthier physically which has helped emotionally too. I feel ready to get back to work, I’ve been inspired into a healthier lifestyle.”
