“I can’t begin to put into words my appreciation for the team at The Freedom Centre. The support I have received from everyone has been overwhelming. As a female in the pods, I was initially terrified, but everyone here is treated with dignity and genuine care. Nothing is too much trouble and the team have gone out of their way to support me on my journey. I feel like my life is going to come back to me with continued support and this has not been the case for several years. I would urge anyone staying here to advantage of any help offered to you and heed the advice from the team - they really do know what’s best! Thank you again from the bottom of my heart.”
"A breakdown in my family left me homeless and sofa-surfing for 16 years. I knew I had to change but I needed help to move on. Friends suggested I visit Freedom and that they might be able to help me, so I came, not expecting much. But their help has been wonderful and first class! I was helped to find accommodation within 2 weeks of visiting the centre and they gave me back my future. I now feel excited and confident about my life moving forwards."
“I would like to say a big thank you to the staff at the Freedom Centre. They are very supportive and a great team of staff that keep you motivated when you’re even having a bad day.”
"I don't know what I would have done without the support and help of the Freedom Centre. Big thanks to everyone for helping me on my journey to sort my life out and secure some housing for Christmas.”
