“I  have had excellent excellent support from my support worker,  Phillip & the organisation as a whole. I am enjoying my volunteer work with GLETS London & I am now vice-chair of the Client Involvement committee & the tenant panel. I volunteer with GLETS London and I have set up the Veterans programme. This provides specialist supported housing for ex-servicemen and women.

For some time I was unsure about what I wanted to do by with the help of the Compliance Officer, Steve I  made a step by step plan and completed my Level 3 in Carpentry.  I obtained a business startup loan from the local credit Union and have secured a lease a the Chelsea Barack’s.  I’m now looking for a local room. After I leave I will stay on a the Chair of the Tenant Panel.  I would highly recommend Aves Housing”

“I am very grateful for the support given to me by the support workers (among them Anita Faloye and Paul Kiely) and the GLETS maintenance team (for whom I’m I’m a volunteer) Over the past few months, I have had health problems and the support I have received is very good.

– Martin Griffin – 13 Jul 18

 I  am very grateful for the help and support given to me.  Getting this place is an excellent opportunity to get myself together, get my health back on track. My support worker has been very helpful in getting my benefits sorted out, registering with a GP etc. I see Phillip at least once a fortnight and if I need him for something, I can call him. My eventual plans are to get my own place and get back into work, both of which I will be supported by Phillip and the other Support Staff.”
