Below, you can read the message we received from the Sanctuary Project after helping a young care leaver through them:

“Hi Julie And Eric,

I just wanted to give you an update on the young man you provided funding to get his qualifications and an interview suit. I met him this week to see how he was getting on and he was dressed in his smart work uniform.  He has secured a full time job and is working for the first time in his life and loving it. He was so proud of himself and so happy. This young man has come a long way in the time we have known him and we both just wanted to thank you for helping him, without the funding this would not have been possible.

He would write to you himself but he struggles with his literacy due to his disability so I said I would drop you a line on behalf of him.

Thanks so much for your support it means a lot to all of us.

The Sanctuary Project.”
