Support with bathroom adaptations
“Further to the support you kindly provided to my father in the form of the financial support for the new downstairs bathroom: Just to let you know I was home over Christmas and New Year. The new bathroom is now complete and to let you know that it has made such a difference to my Dad. No more rushing, stress or accidents. We can't thank you enough for your support. It really has made such a positive difference to him.“

Support with welfare rights
“Just dropping you a quick email to declare my thanks for your assistance regarding my Industrial Injury Benefit case. The hearing was earlier today, and I was grateful to finally get things off my chest & I believe it went well whatever the outcome. I was assisted by Mark Skinner who was absolutely fantastic, both in today’s hearing and also being immensely helpful in helping me prepare. He was knowledgeable, calming and definitely helped me when I was out of my comfort zone. I am truly grateful for all of the assistance from you and Mark.“
