OUTREACH

caring for
people is our mission

What People Have To Say..
Outstanding Support
The staff at Mary Seacole helped me to address my anger issues – I learnt social skills and felt that I could finally let go of the anger. This is mainly thanks to my keyworker; the main person who put me back on track with my life and supported me to stay out of trouble.
Practical Help
Moving out into my own flat was a bittersweet moment, I felt ecstatic that I had achieved my goal but I was really sad to leave Mary Seacole Housing Association
Housing Support
They helped me and my family find temporary accommodation.
Housing Support
I have been in unsettled accommodation for three years and have been bidding for permanent housing. However, I still haven't found anywhere. With support from Housing Advice For All, they were able to help me find the right type of accommodation to bid on and understand the criteria.
A lasting impression
My parting comment would be to say a big thank you to all the staff for believing in me. I would not have made it without them.
