“ When I went on your course to Corsica, my life was a mess. The course helped me to communicate with people and since then I have made a massive effort to turn my life around. I got myself referred to a treatment centre. Now I’m in my first year of a degree in Criminology and Criminal Justice, something I thought was well out of my reach. Thank you for giving me the opportunity."--Newcastle on Tyne

" My son took part in your last course. He had been suffering with depression for two years and we had begun to give up hope. We have seen some real dark times with him and he had become totally de-motivated. I never thought he would be able to hold down any sort of job, so we were amazed when he announced he was going to Corsica. I'm not sure you are aware of the impact you had on that group. They thought you did a great job with them. They bonded and became a team of like being souls and, for my son at least, this was a life changing episode in his life. He left as a down and out and came back as a confident and worldly wise young man, the likes we had not seen for many a while.
Within a week of returning he got himself a job as an Environmental Engineer, with a good salary and company car. I am confident that you built his character and have had an impact on him far wider than you realise. Please keep up the good work."--London

" Thank you for the fantastic experience. I learned a lot, and learned where my direction in life was going. It was invaluable. I was really inspired by the techniques we learned and when I got home, I got offered a paid placement."--Brighton

" I wouldn’t be on my current path today without the help from all the staff on the Corsica trip, and I certainly wouldn’t have got my present job! "--Malvern

" I feel so refreshed. That trip has really changed me and I have calmed down so much. It now feels like a breath of fresh air I must say. I know I’m going to get that job! "--Manchester

" I managed to get a seasonal paid job with the National Trust – something I have wanted to do for a long time. I had the interview soon after we got back and was told that my enthusiasm was the deal-breaker, so thank you! "--Birmingham

" I just really want to say thank you for the opportunity you gave me. After speaking to everyone in the group, we all feel that something has happened inside. It's difficult to say exactly what, but a huge change has come over all of us for the better, as if we have all realised something new. We also feel that we will be friends for life, and that alone is worth a massive thank you, for we have all taken something profound from this course, which we will carry for a long time."--Devon
