Referrers' Testimonials

Thank you so much for your thoughtful and considerate update and also the fantastic work you have been doing with R. I hope that she is doing OK. Please pass on my regards when you next see her.

I have referred at least two ladies to you within the last 9 months and will continue to refer and support Home-Start Reading as I feel it is such a worthwhile organisation and is greatly received by professionals and families alike.

Many thanks for the update – I have seen H since she finished the course and she seemed really upbeat – the group are continuing to meet independently!

I have seen huge improvements in her confidence too which obviously has a positive effect on her anxiety and I am hoping to discharge her at the end of the month. She has only good things to say about Mums in Mind so thanks again for fitting her in and providing such a good level of support.

We all very much appreciated the opportunity to understand more about the group and the work that you do with the families. The parents were very welcoming and it was wonderful to spend a bit of time getting creative with the children too…at least I know how to make a spider out of pipe cleaners now!!

On a more serious note it was very valuable to experience, first hand, how much the families get out of the activities and the interactions that they have with the group. It certainly made us recognise how important the funds raised through Children in Need can be to projects such as Home-Start Reading.

The opportunity for families to come and play together, escape from their homes and have their children run around freely and be able to have access to essential support needed to deal with an emerging/current crisis in their home-lives is clearly vital to families experiencing chaos and significant challenges every day.

The environment into which they are all welcomed is non-judgemental and friendly, which is really important to the families you support. Well done.
