"My confidence has grown so much"

About: Sutton Central Children's Centre

(as the patient),

Before I became a Sure Start volunteer I was lacking in confidence since my youngest child started school I found myself at loose end and was very lonely so I decided to enroll on the volunteers course which was very scary at first and didn't want to go.

However, I persevered along the way and found I really enjoyed it. I started my placement very worried but found along the way that this was really helping me. I found my new found confidence has grown so much I've decided to take the next step in my career and enrole on to a level 3 Teacher Assistant course. This has all been able due to my confidence growing with Sure Start.
