Our aim is to provide a free, confidential, and informal service, in the North Devon area, offering support to people who wish to overcome personal and social barriers, that they feel, are holding them back from education, training or employment.
"Sam's energy and enthusiasm is contagious and really helped
me beleive that I could succeed. She let me develop my own ideas and make my
own decisions, without any pressure. She helped me with aspects that I
wasn't confident or comfortable enough to do on my own but also gave me
independence when I felt more in control. Just knowing that I had someone
who I could call or could accompany me to meetings was very reassuring. She
helped me through the process of starting a college course and also helped
me obtain a grant to start my own business."
"Support has been
exemplary, information pertinent and ample, advice sympathetic, appropriate
and incisive. [I liked the] commitment and persistence with the assistance
given, opportunities opened up."
"Very, very good - practical and inspirational, in the right mix. The latter was really good for me...a desperately needed service."
