Before Heather came to Half the Story, she had struggled to find work.

"I was homeless for a while. To look for a job while you're homeless is not easy... To find a job that I can take my son to school then manage to pick him up as well is nearly impossible.

“It felt like it was a Godsend for me. When I pick my son from school: Mummy what have you been doing? Then I just explained it to him with a smile that this is what I did today.”

Heather shared about the impact working at Half the Story has had.

“My mental wellbeing has much relaxed. It gives me that stability for myself and for him as well.”

“I was struggling to find a job that supported my needs, as I am autistic. Previous job placements had failed because I didn’t get much support or training to cope with those additional needs."

Now working at Half the Story, Sam continues: "I have liked learning new skills; I have lovely work colleagues... I feel comfortable and encouraged there. The staff have been really helpful and have given me lots of advice and encouragement. They are very interested in me as a person.”

Sam is a wonderful example of a life transformed through supportive employment, part of our work family and a great friend!
