Voices from the community we serve

The winter support came at a very difficult time for my family. With the rising cost of food, heating and electricity, I was struggling to manage basic household expenses. The support helped me buy essentials and keep my home warm during the cold weather. It reduced a lot of stress and gave me peace of mind knowing that there are organisations in the community that care and are willing to help families like mine. I am truly grateful for the support we received.
Thank you, M&C Foundation.

“Before joining the Basic Digital Skills workshop at M&C Foundation, I lacked confidence using computers and online services and often relied on my children and husband for help. The support helped me learn how to send emails, use the internet safely, attend online appointments and join Zoom and Teams sessions independently.
The sessions were friendly, patient, easy to follow and explained in a way that I could understand, which made me feel comfortable asking questions and learning at my own pace.
As a result, I now feel much more confident and independent. I no longer need to rely on others as much and can stay connected with family, access important services and manage everyday digital tasks on my own.
I am very grateful for the support provided by the M&C Foundation and ChangeX.”

Highly recommended! They have such a big variety of classes that I can always find something new and interesting for me based on what I’m in the mood for!

Before I started taekwondo, I wasn’t really confident; I wasn’t good at all. I couldn’t even lift my legs above waist height. Taekwondo you have to be confident enough to go into the ring and fight in front of loads of people. I’ve become stronger and better

‘I won gold on my second competition. I enjoyed the feeling ” ”There are teenagers my age that are doing stuff outside of school that isn’t really good. Taekwondo not only helps you with discipline you become very mature at a young age
