  • Kerrie has a natural calming and kind nature to her. All clients feel safe and seen by Kerrie, no matter their need or disability. She genuinely loves all her service users and is dedicated to being their voice. She is the most warm person I have had the pleasure in knowing and seeing her interact with her service users makes the sun shine brighter for the people in her care.

  • During a visit to a service in Cornwall, I witnessed some fantastic support being provided. The team's person-centred focus was shown in the environment and the amazing way they interact with the people they support. Well done team, you are truly helping people to live their best lives.
