YOUR STORIES

“I first attended a meeting in Speke but then COVID-19 happened, and I was concerned that I wouldn't be able to continue with the course during lockdown. I received a call from Hilary and through her spoken words she gave me the encouragement I needed to carry on, arranged my E-Voucher to be sent across to my doctor and I simply collected it from the Chemist. I received such amazing service during this very difficult time, and I will definitely stay quit”
