What our customers say
We're always listening to our customers - and we regularly make changes to our services to accommodate their requests. Here are some recent comments we've had from customers and their family members, for our services all over the East Midlands. (We also carry out regular customer surveys, asking our care and support customers to tell us about their experience of NCHA’s services.)
Wonderful support
"I can't thank you enough for the wonderful support that you have given to our son. I can see a huge difference in him. Thank you for working with him with his laundry, which was a task getting him to do, helping keep his room immaculate and guiding him to eat healthily due to health reasons that he would not have known if you hadn't have taken him for his check up at the GP surgery. Thank you so much."
Moving Forward, Bassetlaw
Amazing support
"In April 2019 I was made homeless, along with my wife and two children. It was a distressing time for us all. The support we had was amazing."

A brighter future
Lorraine has been really helpful and resourceful. I learnt a lot from her and came out a with wider options - and I was able to see my future brighter. My sessions with Lorraine were priceless and I always looked forward to it. Every time I spoke with Lorraine it was like spending time with my older sister. She was very calming.

A stronger person
"You have all helped me to be able to stand on my own two feet again and not fear every little noise. When I first moved in I was a wreck. Now I am a stronger person and that's all down to Bridge Street."

Lunch and laughter
"Amy and I had been out for lunch on her extra support hours. We also fitted in a bit of shopping for bits for her flat. We had been laughing over Halloween outfits and then we tried on these head band boppers. Amy started to laugh at me as they made me look daft. She told me she was glad I was her support worker as I make her laugh, and she likes spending time with me. When we got back to the project she thanked me for a lovely afternoon, and said that she had a great time."
