Lisa said: “My support worker started taking the pressure off me. It was such a relief. It was like a big weight off my shoulders. To have my life back, to start taking control of my own life means so much. I feel there’s so much more out there for me now. With the help of Gofal, I have seen the light at the end of the tunnel.” As a result of the support she received from Gofal’s Tenancy Support Scheme, Lisa decided to access Gofal’s Pathways to Employment project which supports people to gain the skills and confidence to engage in education, volunteering or work. Lisa has now become an extremely active and inspiring volunteer, helping individuals, her community and Wales in a number of way, including helping to run a local fruit and veg cooperative. While her volunteering work is supporting Lisa's recovery and helping her to build confidence and skills for the future, she is also making a valuable contribution to individuals and the wider community.
