“I can’t thank you all enough for the incredible help you have given me for the last 2 years. I went through a rough patch in my life where I felt so lost and didn’t know how to get myself out of feeling so alone. Until I was part of BYPHS. Being part of BYPHS changed my life for the better. I am now independent. I can see that my future will be bright. I have got my confidence back.

If it wasn’t for BYPHS I don’t know where I would be. You gave me somewhere to live and made me feel like people really do care. I will never forget how kind and caring they are especially Liz my support worker. Liz believed in me and supported me through all my struggles and got me back on my feet. She gave me confidence to get back to college and meet new people.

I now have a part time job which I absolutely love. I will soon be working in a care home as a care assistant and that’s all because of Liz.

I am now moving to my own place and couldn’t be more ready. However if it wasn’t for a lady called Maura there was a chance they wouldn’t have given me the flat because I didn’t have the money to pay a weeks rent as a deposit up front. She gave me the £91 out of the independent living fund (Guardian Scheme Income) as I couldn’t afford it and I am so grateful. Thank you so much Maura for helping and allowing me to move into the place I was hoping for.

I highly recommend BYPHS to all young people out there who need help. I will never forget them and will miss being a part of it. You give young people a chance to change their lives for the better so thank you!”
