I was so embarrassed the first time I came in. Nobody made me feel small. They gave me a parcel, a cup of tea and sorted out the benefit I'd been missing for months. #LanternwayTrust

Since my wife passed, Thursday is the day I look forward to. Sam comes round, we do the crossword and argue about football. I'd be lost without him.

My two came home from holiday club every day full of stories and fed properly. That summer would have been really hard without it.

Our team volunteering day was the most talked-about thing we did all year. The partnership team made it easy and the impact report is clear and honest.

When I arrived I could not speak English. Now I help new families with their forms. The teachers are so patient and kind.

I like knowing exactly where my money goes. The updates are short and real, with no pressure to give more. Easy to set up Gift Aid too.
