It's been a long journey for me with inclusion and Mark one of the Housing Navigator.
I met Mark at a hostel and started working with him making changes to my drinking. My goal was to become a social drinking and I believe I have now reached that goal.
I moved through the Housing Hostel provisions all the while being supported by Mark and now have my own flat where Mark visited me to support me in maintain my goals and tenancy. I have now reached my goals and understand what I need to do to maintain my goals and tenancy. I have now left the inclusion service so I can maintain my recovery independently. Thank you for all the support I have received.

HI rw2021
Thank you so much for updating us on how things are going? It’s great to hear that you have accommodation and it shows the importance of our homeless navigators. It’s really nice to be updated as sometimes we don’t get to hear how our service is doing so when people take the time to feedback to us it really does make a difference. Hope all continues to go well in your new home and if in the future you wish to please feel free to pop in for a brew and a chat and if you have any spare time and wish to we have a flourishing volunteer program on the Island and across the country which you would be welcome to come and discuss. Again thank you for the update and we hope all continues to go in the right direction for you J
