We attended together and Harry said he ‘felt immediately at home’ there. Harry told me ‘I would never have made
it here without your help. I’m so glad I came, I’ve been feeling really low and this feels like there’s light at the end of the tunnel.’ I could tell that Harry was touched by what was, to me, a small action, but was to him
a huge act of kindness which opened up his world again. He now arranges for a friend to drop him off and attends the group on his own. Recently, he reported that he “loved it there, what lovely people. So glad I went, I’ve not smiled like that for a long time, thanks for encouraging me.’
For Harry, this was a big step in helping to empower him, give him a greater sense of belonging and strength that he could achieve his goals. It demonstrated to our team the huge impact that one small act of kindness could have on someone.”
