“I could go on and on and tell you so much about Lisa and what she has done for us but you will be reading it for days . As a family Lisa has got us from not being able to communicate to us being able to communicate and engage with others outside of the home
Lisa has given us a lot of guidance and played a big part in ours lives treating us with the upmost respect , she has never pushed me or made me feel like I can’t do things and has helped me to gain control of our lives. I am in a wheelchair and a lot of people made me feel inadequate but Lisa has never ever made me feel like this …because of Lisa my children and I have now got a lot more confidence and our quality of life is amazing
L has got into uni and starts in September. Astrophysics at Aberystwyth! …. Hope it feels good to know that you played a big part in all this xx”

“The Young Carers Service has helped me by being there for me when I lost my little sister. I was helped to feel comfortable talking about her to the counsellor, and I was encouraged to talk about the good things by Lisa. There is nothing you could do better“
A Young Carer
“I would like to say a massive thank you to the young carers team, for their interaction and support currently being offered to my 9 year old daughter. My daughter has had one to one sessions with Holly from young carers
She feels very comfortable with Holly as she is a young, vibrant young lady with a very caring nature!
This has helped my daughter to interact with her and discuss any issues she may be facing! The service and support we are offered is amazing in my view and we appreciate all you are doing to help make things easier for our daughter to open up about her feelings.”
