Quotes from service users:

“Services like Start360, especially the VOICES project, complimented our work so much. Working with Voices key workers, counsellors and family worker has been positive and resulted in positive outcomes for families. Sharing of information was stellar and I hope the good working relationships developed between our services continue.”

“You helped me to find my voice and so I would be able to tell my daddy how I felt about his drinking.”

I can smile now and mean it because of VOICES"
