"Thanks to Right Of Place, I look forward to life for the very first time"

"I never had the strength to show love, but now I have"

"Thank you,

(Outreach Co-Ordinator) I want to thank you for all your help and support and encourgment it is because ofyou that i look forward to life for the very first time.I want to thank you for responding to me straight away for coming to my home and listening. I never had that in my lfe somebody to listen to me. I never had somebody who cared. It means the world to me.

When i met you a number of weeks ago I was worryed that I would not be able to talk toyou, as this is my life. I find it imposible to talk to people who do not understand me. But you have changed this,

I thank you for helping me get counselling and I can say it is going very well. It was hard at the start but because of meeting you after it helped me so much. I also thank you for helping me get in touch with my grandkids again. I never had the strength to show love but now i have. I can say these last number of weeks that i spent with them have been the happiest i have ever been.

I also am happy with the letters you sent for me to the Dole because they had refused me and this was creating flashbacks.

You are an inspiration and so is your office. Thank you for helping me and helping me move on with my life. I owe everything to do. I hope to help in the future."

"Hi, I wanted to write this to you so that others may have the courage to call and your offices as I truly believe we are being so well serveed by your organisation.

What you have done for me is immeasurable and has helped give me some of my self-esteem, my happiness and a knowledge that as long as you are here (Outreach Co-Ordinator) I will always have somebody who understands me and wants to help.

I have taken up so much of your time and yet it amazes me when I come into the office I am offered a warm smile and a warmer cup of tea. I am allowed to speak to you and each time I leave your offices, the fear I had is gone away. What is even more amazing is that you actually do the work that I ask you.

What have you done; You have told me of my Rights, what I am entitled to. You have helped me gain education courses for me and my son. You have got me out of the house I was living in and into an area that allows me an opportunity to access akk the supports that I need.

You have helped me type up letters and put them into the correct way depending on what I needed from them.

You have come with me when I needed someone to support me in court, always offering good advice and always being somebody who I could express my feelings and worries to.

But Most importantly you and your staff have always been there for me. I can honestly say with the truth that had it not been for your office I would be a lot less confident in my abilities, a lot less happy and a lot more sad about everything.

From me and My son, Thank you!"

"Where Would I be Without Your Offices - I shudder to think"

"Thank you so much for all that you have done. To have someone who cares, who listens and who is always there makes so much difference. But to do more and actually help me through counselling and gaining my own house has been such a relief and I will always be grateful to you and Right of Place for what you have done"

I am the Daughter of (Name removed) and to think I can access the services that you provide has meant everything to me"

"Thank you for Everything. When I think of the work that you do and the time that you spend I wonder how you possibly manage. To spend the time to visit me, to spend the time to talk to me and to fix my problems but always going that extra mile. There are very few saints in this world, but you come very close. Keep up your excellent work, we all appreciate it."

"This is (Outreach Work) an enormous help and I am most grateful. Thanks especially for the speed with which you were able to get all this done. Former residents of Industrial Institutions are being extremely well-served by your compassionate response and service. Many, many thanks."
