"I’ve been supported by You First for four years, and it’s changed my life. Before, I struggled with a small team that didn’t meet my needs. Now, I have a reliable support team, real control over my rota, and a stronger relationship with my family. I help interview staff, travel to concerts and festivals, and even work as an Oliver McGowan co-trainer. Thanks to You First, I’m living independently—with confidence, choice, and joy.
Working at You First, I realised not only was I making a positive difference to the lives of others, it was having a positive impact on my own life.
