I enjoy visiting Jackie's Centre, It gives me the chance to socialise with my friends and play pool, listen to music and have fun. The Centre provides support and advice.

I was helped to get a job at the British Heart Foundation and I loved working there.

The Centre is nice and friendly, I like going on the Trips which have included the Theatre, London Christmas lights and the Seaside.

Most of the people that use the Centre have benefited in so many different ways.

It has had a positive impact on the lives of everyone involved volunteers as well as clients.

It is rare to find volunteers as dedicated who really do care for all of the people that they come into contact with.

The biggest thing that I consider is that all of this comes from the heart and there is no financial gain. 

 

I enjoy coming to the Centre because I can see and catch up with my friends.

I like singing on the Karaoke machine, watching DVDs and dancing.

Sometimes the volunteers take me into town and help me to choose clothes.

I'm a volunteer at a special place called "Jackie's Drop-In Centre" I got involved about 3 years ago and love every day, seeing the enjoyment on the faces of every member that walks through our doors. As a parent of a speciaI needs son I know how hard it is to find somewhere safe for these vulnerable adults to go, so they are kept safe, warm and happy.

At Jackie's we have different rooms with activities going on all day Monday-Friday.

I dont know of anywhere else that offers a service like this in Hertfordshire or Bedfordshire. 

I love coming to Jackie's House.

My daughter who has special needs attends the Centre where she gets to meet and socialise with other people.

There benefits of the Centre is that you know they are well looked after by the staff (who are all volunteers).
