Here's what our volunteers say
"After receiving support with my diabetes, it built my confidence and I wanted to give something back as a volunteer. I supported groups at ShipShape and shared my journey of change to help others to build their confidence"
As a victim of domestic abuse, one of our clients believes that Ship Shape has given her 'more confidence' because she has been 'talking to different people' over the past year.
She has since become a volunteer through the programme and is participating in further training
"ShipShape has helped me a lot and I think it will in the future. I enjoy coming here"
