Success Stories

The Building Bridges program was very helpful to me during a time where I lost a lot of confidence after I had to leave my previous job. I felt a bit lost, which led me to seeking out Building Bridges support. They gave me excellent advice, as well as the confidence to make the choices that were right for me... I’ll always be thankful for the help provided.

“My support worker never forced me to do anything, but she encouraged and motivated me to make progress and make changes myself.  Thank you, for everything! For showing me different places and ideas and ways to look at things and just being really lovely.”

“From my time on programme, I was shown how to get the bus, completed CV and interview prep, started The King’s Trust and given a lot of information around support. I am more confident and now have better communication skills. Thank you for your help.”

“Caitlin helped me improve my independence skills by helping me get the bus on my own, the activities around my health also helped me with getting the bus alone. It was also nice being able to talk to someone about it, especially someone I didn’t know that well.”

“Myself and my mum are grateful for the support received when leaving school and going up to college. I had some support around paperwork and online forms for college and placement at college as me and my mum struggle with this. Because I had support from Caitlin and Sumayyah, I just want to say thank you very much.”

“When I first started the programme, I was looking for my first job. I got a lot of support and help to get me my first job as a roofer. The support I received helped me a lot with my next steps.”
