It has been a pleasure working with Angela on our strategic and charity governance reviews. Having an independent voice with bags of relevant experience has helped us to focus on what's most important for the charity. The board now operate as a team with identified roles, make more effective and informed decisions, and as a result are more productive. It's been money well spent!

Thank you so much for your time yesterday, I found it really helpful and supportive. You have a fantastic depth of knowledge and experience, and it was great to have an ‘external view’ and insight. I will put all the ideas into practice and will let you know how I get on.

Can I just say how incredible GRCC have been in supporting the parish in the last few months - we couldn't have got half as far as we have without you.

Just a short note to thank you for your time and encouragement yesterday, both of which were greatly appreciated.

I must say you have been one of the best speakers/external experts I have encountered in my 35 years as a public servant... On behalf of the Parish Council I thank you for your work with us.

Hello Jason [GRCC Technology and Digital Inclusion Social Prescribing Link Worker for the North Cotswolds] It’s a week since you last came & I felt I should “thank you” again for your help. You’ve given my husband more confidence in using IT & he’s using the NHS app! We both really appreciate the help you gave us both.

Dear Jo, I just wanted to say a heartfelt thank you for your kind support with my PIP application. Your understanding and the letter you provided mean a great deal to me. It’s comforting to know I have someone caring like you in my corner. I really appreciate the time you took to listen and help me navigate things. Thank you again for everything.

To my relief and delight, there was ... somewhere I could be more myself, and somewhere I could relax and not worry about what others thought about me. ... The real benefit ... is being in an environment where everyone is different but with enough similarities that we can make connections. We get it, we get each other, and that is more valuable than gold.

It was wonderful to have you attend and to deliver such a fantastic presentation to our clinical team. I found the autism training session to be extremely informative and valuable to my practice as a clinician. It has encouraged me to reflect on my own approach, particularly in being more mindful of the language and tone I use. The training has also given me the confidence to engage in bolder and braver conversations, which I feel will greatly enhance the support I provide. I am very grateful for the insight and practical strategies shared.

I wouldn't have managed without the help from DAISI. It wasn't just the phone, it was having someone take the time to explain things properly.

I really appreciate your help with everything. It's like I'm expected to have a degree in self-reflection and understand myself fully, which I don't. You understand autistic people from a different point of view.

I had some help, and it all started with some social prescribing help and I don’t know what we would have done without their help. We had 2 of lots of water bills coming up at £1000 and so I feel so grateful. It was a real lifeline. The support I received from GRCC meant I was able to apply for financial relief with my bills from Severn Trent and Thames, and I have been granted the maximum grant of 75% support – heavily reducing my bills.

The partnership between Elev8 and GRCC has been a genuinely positive and highly valued collaboration. By providing short‑term placements for two of our learners, GRCC created a welcoming and supportive environment that enabled them to build confidence, apply their skills in a real‑world setting, and take meaningful steps towards their employment goals. We are very grateful for this partnership and look forward to continuing our collaboration in the near future.

I am emailing all 3 community partners together ... as you have all supported the same parent I have been working with today... All three community partners pulled out the stops in supporting a vulnerable pregnant fleeing mum... It seemed like an impossible ask but amazingly you have all gone over and above at very short notice.

The support was practical, friendly, and exactly what we needed. It helped us move from talking about digital challenges to actually doing something about them.

Having someone patient explain everything step by step gave me the confidence to start using services online for myself.
