Praise for our wellbeing support
Praise for our wellbeing support
We particularly appreciate this comment and endorsement from Mandy Goodwin – mother of Katie, a 24-year-old who lives in her own flat in Morpeth thanks to the daily support of the specialist team at Helping Hands.
We provide help with daily living skills and support Katie’s mental health and general wellbeing. Her main carer is Vicky Edmundson, who has worked with Helping Hands for around nine years.
Mandy said of the support her daughter receives: “I’m just writing to let you know that Vicky came to my house today for care with Katie. Katie has been working on a journal to help her mental health and negative thoughts. I was working in the background and just left them to it but felt I should write as I caught a few things, and just wanted to say that I thought Vicky was just fabulous with Katie.
“She gave her so many ways to think and look at life? Honestly, her input was so valuable and impressive to listen to it prompted me to tell you. She was wonderful with Katie and just goes to show what a brilliant job you all do.
“It’s not always about personal care, cleaning, shopping etc. Sometimes a cuppa and a listening ear is the most important thing a person can do. You’ve provided a wonderful team for Katie, so thank you so much.”
