“My experience with New Dawn New Day has been wholeheartedly positive. The staff have been most supportive and accessible. I have never been left alone with any potentially disturbing issues and there have been helpful feedback meetings with other volunteers and excellent training. Most importantly, my experience of working with my client has, I feel, been beneficial to both her and to me. I was able to give her support when needed, it has been a challenging time and she had up and down days. I felt I was able to left her and provide some consistency in her life. She has moved on now and this provided me with the satisfaction of a job well done. I am very happy with my experience at New Dawn New Day and I feel the project I am involved in is worthwhile.” – Carole
