This week we received an anonymous quote from a participant of the Life Course. 

“I am very grateful for the support and advice received from Life course and think it's amazing how the after care has continued.”
 
One of the Team Leaders for Client Pathways, Ant, gives us some context.
 
'This is someone who was referred to the Life Course via the Foodbank. After the course finished they attended the aftercare drop-ins alongside attending women’s day services at Spring of Hope. We've also been able to support them into a work placement.'
 
'It’s a small testament to the power of a joined-up pathway emerging in our services. It’s also a client voice alluding to the importance that we build pathways in our services.' 
 
We're really encouraged to hear how the new structure is producing positively for people who come to us for support.
