I am grateful to MHA. Helping my mother get out each Tuesday and helping her maintain her independence and dignity as she has a number of health issues.  It gives me peace of mind knowing that she is having a meal and being looked after for a few hours each week spending time in the company of her friends.

Relative

Attending our club day every week with my little therapy dog has helped me immensely to get through very difficult times. I don’t  know if I would be the strong person I am today without our club days.

Social group member

I lost my husband last year and have been very depressed and lonely since.  Volunteering with MHA has helped me through a very sad time in my life and I am grateful for that.

Volunteer

My confidence has returned which has an impact on others that attend MHA members and staff and volunteers alike. I just love everything about it.
