Being supported by United Response has been amazing because I can live a better life. The staff have really helped me. Two years ago, I lost my Mum to cancer, and staff check in with me here to make sure I’m okay. On Mother’s Day, I am going to make a card for my service.

I like to do lots of things. I love arts and crafts, and making things. I also like to go out for activities like bowling, and sometimes we go out for lunches.

As well as this, I go to a local Day Centre where I get to go to a relaxation group, a choir and a woman’s group, where we will share what’s on our mind.

I have met some good people at the Day Centre, and the choir has helped me with my confidence.

I also recently got engaged to my fiancé!

I love parties and doing karaoke and things like that! We do this a lot in our services. I also go on lots of trips with United Response. I’ve been to Skegness and York. York was amazing because it’s where they filmed my favourite movie, Harry Potter!

My proudest achievement is being here. If I feel down, the staff will always make me happy. I would recommend United Response to anyone because the staff are amazing, wonderful and kind. I’ve got lots of new friends now and being with my support worker Richard has changed me. He’s really caring. If I were to describe United Response in three words I’d pick “better for me”.
