The directors are also residents of the Nottingham Community and have experience of working in education establishments, both compulsory and higher education, and within the social care sector; this has guided much of our project work, as we have experiential evidence with stakeholders that the services we offer are much needed within the communities we work in. Clients and service users complete evaluation wheels, feedback forms, and anonymous testimonials and organisations similarly complete feedback forms. The feedback has helped our company to evaluate our services, we have found that our service is effective and to improve we have been offering family counselling, as this is a current need within our community to encourage lasting changes for children and young people by supporting their family network to become more resilient and improve their emotional and mental health also
