Our services are designed to help our clients move away from insecure living and forward in some way, whether it be a small step or a complete transformation of their lives.
Here are some success stories from people we have helped.
Sara
Our existing relationship with Sara meant that our in-house psychologist could begin engaging with her in informal, small doses that felt safe to her
Aurel
I would love to become a pastry chef, that is my goal. I have moved in with a friend and have a comfortable room and can use the gym at the hotel which is fantastic.
Carla’s story
“I feel a lot better in myself. I had some negative experiences on the streets. Now I feel a lot happier, more relaxed, and more at ease with myself. Now I can look forwards, not back.”
Mangbe
I got my work permit after eight months without. And I will be forever grateful to The Connection.
Eduardo
Eduardo is now enjoying his new job
Umaro
Today is like a dream, because I’ve had so much support. When I'm upset, they talk to me nicely. They don’t lie to me, they’re honest about what we can do and how long things will take. They listen to me as well, that's the main thing. Nobody has ever helped me this way.
Anthony’s story
I’ve had some good support here. They do a lot around arts and music which I like. The staff are great and if feels like a community.
E.M.
From being homeless to becoming a cancer researcher, E.M.’s story shows what’s possible when someone receives the right support at the right time.
Lisa
In five or ten years’ time, I’d love to see more of these houses popping up. Young girls are going through so much. Domestic violence isn’t going to disappear. They need somewhere safe.
Derryn
I tried a 12-week course in photography and video, and I even got to film an event. It was something I’d never thought about doing before.
George
Weekly psychology sessions have helped George cope with the trauma he has experienced over many years of homelessness.
