'Best place I know, help a lot of vulnerable people and children out, help you in every way they can, love this place'- Leanne ‘I really got a lot form the Male freedom and have continued to work with Jenny on the Strength to Change programme. It has made me see things in a different way and really given me the support I needed to change’ ‘I would like to say thank you to everyone at RCT especially my counsellor as she has helped me through some tough times and difficult issues and I feel I have become a stronger person. She has made me see more clearly and look at myself and my priorities. The Freedom Programme was also fantastic as it has give me awareness of relationships and what to look for so a big thank you go the Freedom Facilitators, I am not sure where I would be without their help' |
‘I was referred to the freedom programme because my ex partner was being abusive towards me, having someone to listen and challenge me really helped me see what I wanted with my life and I was capable of achieving on my own without my ex. I would recommend the freedom programme and counselling to anyone because they really helped me’ 'I want to say thank you for being there for me this year and supporting me with everything that has gone on I couldn’t thank you enough and I am really grateful for what you have helped me through,'- Talent Match Client 'With help from Debra we are in a better place now. The bullying’s calmed down. It was nice to know that Rochdale Connections Trust was there if I needed help too' - Parent/Carer |
'We are the parents of 4 children, one of whom has an inoperable brain tumour, and, over the last 7 years has endured 3 chemotherapy regimes. This has had a detrimental effect on the other 3 children, and, sadly there is little in place to help siblings of poorly children. So the mentoring that RCT has offered to 2 of our children has been a godsend.
Our eldest son has gained in confidence with the help of his mentor Chris. Chris has helped Andrew with revision for his mock exams, and was over the moon when Chris recently took him to a football match.
Our daughter is more relaxed and seems able to deal with her brother's illness with more maturity.
Unfortunately, our youngest son, at 9 years old, is too young for the mentoring, but, we are able to give him more attention while the other 2 are out mentors.
RCT also treated us to a family night out at the cinema to Paddington 2 last year. Due to hospital appointments taking over our lives, going out together is something of a rarity!
We were spoiled at the Christmas party and the teddy (Moz the Monster) that Michael received travels everywhere with him!
Many thanks for this service, Stephen and Jacqui'
