So - picture the scene. There’s a Programme running in one of your venues where the individuals are sleeping on the streets and in hostels, and they are showing up happier each week.

Bob Jones (CEO of Watford & Three Rivers Trust) was curious about what we were doing so asked for a meeting with me and that’s when our conversations began. For nearly a year Bob held my hand and guided me to a space where we could establish and deliver our services in partnership with W3RT, which took effect in September 2019.

Unfortunately, in March 2020, Covid-19 descended upon us so we had to stop our service - we patiently waited to see what would unfold.  We ran weekly online drop in sessions until we were able to resume our service in January 2021.  Social anxiety still gripped those who we worked with so we decided to keep our programmes online - fortunately we were still able to achieve the same outcomes.
