“ 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.”

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.”

Innovate has provided K with a safe and supportive environment, which has been invaluable in helping her feel secure and begin to re-engage. I am sure that Innovate will have a lovely send-off for K this week, celebrating her success as she is ready to move on to her exciting new school.”
