Verbatim
“So many carers spend years putting somebody else's needs first. Having somewhere they can come, feel welcome, enjoy themselves and make connections of their own really matters. We couldn't have wished for a happier outcome for Jenny and Gerald, and everyone at Making Space wishes them many very happy years together.”
