“What I loved about Bearwood Community Hub was that they always listened. I was signposted to Citizens Advice for further help and they got me a therapist. The team also made provisions for us - from finding clothes, food vouchers, finding school uniforms, sending links to new jobs, groceries, and accommodation. They even helped us with transportation to get[ting] into our new house. I'm just thankful I got support - they're my family for life. They've been there and still there.”
