What do our customers say?

Wayne:
"I was quite quiet when I started but now I am a lot more independent. Being here has brought me out of myself."

Eliane:
Eliane attends a Papworth Trust centre and youth club, where she does all sorts of activities, including art, drama, and trips out with her friends. "I've done swimming, yoga, running, singing and dancing," says Eliane.
In this short film, meet Eliane and find out how she's been getting on:

"The first time Eliane came along she was very nervous," says Helen Stanley, Papworth Trust manager. "She's grown amazingly. She makes friends very easily, interacts with everybody and has become really confident in herself."
