Client testimonial
“I left prison in 2016 and Pathwaze contacted me about 2 months after my release. I did not think that they would actually be able to help me because I had companies that said they would but never actually did anything.
Pathwaze made sure that I was accountable to myself by ensuring I attend my probation appointments and other important appointments I needed to get to. They checked in on my wellbeing – in fact, they would never leave me alone they kept nagging me and always kept me on my toes.
As a result, I had to learn patience, I learnt it because they were patient with me. I eventually started to open up to my Support Worker and they made sure that I was doing what I was supposed to do to keep in line. They kept me out of trouble, to be honest. I started to feel like I wanted more for myself and felt motivated to get into work. I was volunteering at a local soup kitchen, this also helped with my development.
My support workers have always been accessible, I can always contact them and they listened to my needs – see what happens when the right people help! Pathwaze helped me to get my own social housing, I am excited to start moving in. I now have a more positive view of life and now have proof that things are achievable. Look at me now, I couldn’t see myself how I am now 3 years ago. I now have a fulltime job and would like to go to university to be a youth worker. Thank you Pathwaze for everything.”
