Meet Our New Trustee Margaret

Thank you. It was great to get all that info sent to us.

I'm doing OK and I've had those emergency buttons put in. I have talked to lots of people and I think I have it all sorted now.

I've started to have food delivered some days. Not all the time. I like to go out and cook for myself.

It was great to get all that info sent to us. And we are working our way through it. Mum has had contact with a social worker and we have sorted some groups for her to go to. It's one of those situations where there will always be things needed to sort. It would have taken ages for us to source.

The lady was very kind and it was lovely of her to ring me to discuss what I needed.

Many thanks for all that information you have given us. We are so looking forward to trying some out and certainly we feel less `loaded` and happier that there are safe ways for helping us to socialise.

The volunteer was very good. I just needed someone to be there as I lost all my confidence. It was fantastic to know that there was someone there just in case I had a wobble moment and I lost it. My confidence just went but I have it back, which is great. It was great to know that someone would support me and I know that I can call again if I need some help. I don't like bothering others. Everyone is busy and had their own problems, so its's great to know that you are there. It was just what I asked for.

Without the volunteer who visited me I think I would have just sat here and I was ready to give up really as I missed my wife so much. Thank you again for the lovely service you provide. I don't like to go out, so it was nice to talk to someone.

It's nice to know that someone can help: just fill in those gaps if needed. Everyone is so busy these days. I got just what I asked for and more. It was great and I think I'm doing as well as can be.

The volunteer is very good and it's not just shopping. It's the company, as there is no one here apart from me. I wouldn't have any food without you. It's nice to know someone is coming to see you.

The volunteer was a big help: not just with me, she helped my husband who is 83. It gave my him a break from the four walls.

The Volunteer took my little dog for a walk and stayed and had a chat. Lovely man, very helpful!

It’s been fantastic and I’m so grateful for your help. This has been lovely also to have a little chat and I feel calmer as I was feeling rather shaken from my vertigo.

The volunteer was lovely. I like to have a chat and now I don't see anyone and feel so down…As I don’t feel well enough to go anywhere it was nice to know I was getting a visitor, it gave me something to look forward to…It was nice to look forward to seeing someone.

Yes, the volunteer sat and had a chat with me and on the 3rd visit she took me to the hairdresser, which was a laugh. It was nice when you know someone is coming to see you

Such a lovely service. The volunteer was lovely and so were you all. I loved the chats and the fact a member of staff came back to help the next day as I couldn't have a volunteer straight away. That was so lovely…. I have had such a bad time and my family were away. I would have been very down and lonely. It's difficult to be positive all the time.

Your information was extremely helpful and I have used this to set up some regular friendship support and trips out for mum.

Thank you, you have been absolutely marvellous. Two things I have been thinking and worrying about and you have sorted them out so quickly, thank you.

It was so good to talk to someone who'd understand but yet not judge.

You can contact the community navigators who are wonderful at finding support in areas around Cambridge – I use them all the time and think they are amazing!
