Feedback from Clients

Adult Service

“Everyone is very helpful and understanding. The admin team are always happy to help in any way they can. Thankyou to everyone for all your help and understanding, you all go out of your way to help and that does help when there is a lot to do and think about.”
Adult Service

“I would like to take the opportunity to express that CPY and STAFF have been an excellent support for me, in what is, a very difficult situation.
STAFF listens, is empathetic and tries to offer help, with potential solutions. She came into my life, when I was very low and needed help to put things in to better prospective. Thank you for a brilliant service you provide.”
Veterans Support

“I could not have done it without you. You opened so many doors that I could not have even found the handle on. Don’t underestimate how valuable your input and facilitating expertise has been. This has been a team effort. You have been inspirational, and finding RBL turned out to be extremely valuable. I could not have been supported any better and your combined professionalism has been exemplary.”

Case Study

Here is a real-life story of a client we’ve supported. To protect their privacy, we have used a stock image.

This case involved a carer who moved in with her parents during the pandemic to support both while managing their increasing dementia-related needs. CPY provided emotional and practical support, including advice on respite, referrals for carer assessment, signposting to dementia services, safety measures, and guidance around care home transition following the death of the carer’s father. The carer experienced significant guilt, emotional strain, and financial pressure after giving up work, which was addressed through ongoing support, information about dementia, and wider family planning, including support for a sibling with learning disabilities. As a result, the carer regained confidence, returned to employment, improved her wellbeing and financial stability, rebalanced family life, and felt able to step away from 1:1 support, reporting reduced stress, time to grieve, and reassurance that her mother was well cared for.
