Quote from a provider“The face to face meetings with Wendi really helped; she was so supportive andrespectful which gave me the boost I needed to try and get funding for the service to getit off the ground. I needed a push to go to the right place for support- and Wendi camewith me to help go through the paperwork. It’s a shame the project is coming to an end”SHOUT: JamieProject and report funded by the Department of HealthCopyright © Community Catalysts C.I.CSeptember 2011.
