“I want to continue to do the things I love and knowing there is someone I can talk to and someone encouraging me...is a great support."

“Thanks to our CLW I am now positive and focussed on the future. I don’t know where we would be without the support he has given us.”

"We were part of the initial evaluation that showed the enormous benefits that Link Workers provide."

“I can't stress what a difference Link Workers make to the practice and local community.”

“They are not doing it for the praise, they are doing it because they have a genuine interest in people.”

“Everyone should be able to live in peace and feel safe in their own home – that’s all I want, and I don’t think I am asking for a lot.”

“There is a statistic that for every £1 spent on CLWs it saves the NHS £8.79. There is a very clear argument there for the programme."

"They have become a vital part of the general practice team in Deep End practices."
