I’d absolutely recommend them to other families like mine.

I found that the scariest thing is feeling like you are helpless and don’t have enough information to make good decisions.

Being able to rely on Contact’s expertise and knowledge at these times really helped reduce the feeling of being not in control.

Contact has been with me every step of the way.

They gave me the confidence and knowledge to challenge decisions successfully.

In my experience, other organisations do not have the depth of knowledge that Contact has.

Throughout this whole journey Contact has been my go-to for advice and information.

  Thank you for providing both parents and carers with such a high level of support.

I know now that if things don’t go according to plan, I can always get in touch with Contact. It’s like having a lifeline.
