REVIEWS

Insights from those we support; parents/carers, young people and professionals.

“You have made my son feel worthy and shown him he is capable of achieving anything. You have shown him he's not just a statistic, he's clever, polite, humble and empathetic.”


Parent of Post-16 Student

“My experience of the support that Innovate 'Front Line' staff offer the young people I support has been very good.

I also appreciate the rapid and constructive communications and clear explanations of processes and time frames.”


LA Officer 

“The support your staff are giving is making a real difference in their confidence, which is so important for their next steps to permanent placement


Parent of Tutoring Young Person

“ Before I had Innovate, I was too anxious to go into my lessons at school and order food in restaurants or pay at the counter. Ever since I had Innovate, I am less anxious about what people think about me and will go into my lessons without caring about what people maybe saying about me.”


Young Person of Innovate 'Projects'

“S has said how much she is enjoying tutoring, due to the positive relationship she has built with Olivia. Your support and approach are clearly making a real difference.”

Parent of a Tutoring Young Person

“Nadir has changed my son's life in the most positive way and I couldn't be more grateful.”




Parent of a Mentoring Young Person

“ Her time with you has made a significant impact on her;  she is so much more comfortable and social. She thoroughly enjoyed her time at Innovate; she has joined a football club and is getting along with her team great, and she also recently joined a gym.           

She feels so much more comfortable doing things she enjoys after her time with you. Your mentors did excellent work, and we could not be happier with the results.”
