“Just knowing you are there gives me comfort”

Some lovely feedback from our Caring for Carers group at RAW People:“Fantastic sessions. Very down to earth, everyone is listened to and not judged no matter your problems.”“Yes I feel safe in RAW People and my confidence is growing.”“Less socially isolated, more open to going to new groups and meeting new people.”“Meeting other carers and making friends, not feeling as isolated as I spend a lot of time alone. I enjoyed the different activities, it was a good way to try a new skill and to keep learning. Feeling like I am part of a family and feeling valued as a person. Also having something to look forward to each week that was for ‘me’ time. Giving us all a lovely lunch which is so kind.”“The amazingly supportive staff, the wonderful people I met when attending the sessions who are all strong, sensitive and very special. The variety of activities during the sessions. The delicious lunches provided.”“Just knowing you are there gives me comfort.”“Making new friends and being part of a group that lets me be me.”“Increase in self-confidence & self-esteem. More able to accept & love myself just as I am.”“Samantha, just keep doing what you are doing. You have made me feel so supported.”“These classes are changing people’s lives in Rotherham for the better. Many GP practices are unaware of these classes which could help many of their patients, reducing appointment times etc.”“Talking to people who are experiencing similar things.”“Thank you for all the time, effort and support you put into helping those of us in the community who would otherwise feel alone & isolated. You’re making a difference to people’s lives on a daily basis. Such an awesome team with a passion for reaching out & sharing their skills & life stories for the benefit of others. Thank you.”“Relaxed atmosphere in a non-judgemental environment. Respect for one another was paramount for all to be involved and participate. Genuine and professional caring organisers.”
