"I would like to extend our thanks to you and the team for your support in achieving the Quality in Action Award. It had been on our radar for years, but we would not have achieved it without your advice and support. 

Your help and guidance over the years has enabled us to be more strategic in securing funding and achieving our goals.  It has helped us to grow to be an organisation at the heart of the community that helps alleviate poverty, loneliness and isolation.

We really appreciate your support".

Andy Chadwick | Senior Leader, Reach Church
