"Bridge-it
stands alone; no other organization offers you such a unique blend of people that are there for you, and most of all believe
in you right from the start."
"You need to take a leap of faith (that is what I did) and I never looked
back, you need to trust and know that somebody believes in you. That is what Bridge-It is all about!"
"The hardest thing I ever did was walk through those doors; not knowing
what to expect, feeling vulnerable ready to rush back home and shut the door so I could once again feel safe and secure."
"If it wasn't for Bridge-It I would not now
be employed and have my
self-esteem plus money coming in so that I'm no longer wondering how I'm going to
pay the next bill. Do not misunderstand me; your health does not improve overnight, it is a slow progress that you have to
monitor, however, it is not the only thing that goes through your mind, you do not breath your illness 24/7."
"If you give nothing else a try or you think your life
will never get any better, get in touch with Bridge-It. It's just a phone call away and you never know your life could
change just like mine."
"Although very sceptical at the start as to whether or not this would be helpful
to me, I was very impressed at the end as my confidence level is higher than before."
"Everyone was kind
and friendly and made me feel welcome."
"Thank you for everything you did
for me and thank you for helping me."
"Enjoyed my time there and loved my placement and would like to
thank all for their help."
"I thought the Work Preparation programme was excellently run and found it
very worthwhile and would highly recommend it."
"The support and encouragement
I received was brilliant. I felt in control, not pressured. Everyone was very polite and helpful at all times. If I was unsure
about anything, it would be explained clearly. Very friendly. I was very satisfied with everything. Would definitely recommend
anyone to go on this programme."
I was very happy with the way issues and problems were addressed, quickly
and helpful. Everyone was friendly and the way Bridge-It encourages you to move forward is rewarding. Keep it up!"
"All staff were helpful, encouraging and friendly, and gave me a lot of my confidence back.
Thank you very much!"
"The whole team was really helpful and welcoming towards me. The short experience
was a real eye opener. Thank you!"
"The time spent at Bridge-It was excellent for me. The personal help
was invaluable. The all important telephone call and subsequent accompanied interview at Baytree has resulted in a job I am
really enjoying. Thank you to all for getting me back to work."
"I think
that one of Bridge-It's great strengths is the friendly, approachable manner of it's staff. I would definitely recommend
Bridge-It in the future."
