"It’s really good – just go for it and do all you can. "
"I started in November 2017 as a support worker, after studying health and social care, public health, at university. I attended all the training. It’s really nice working with service users, completely different – in a good way – from studying. You get to know the service users and get to know them better. WSPLD push you too – they encourage you. "
Jenneh has been promoted and started her new job as an Assistant Team Manager in February 2019.
“Since the Westminster Society started supporting me I have been going out loads more than I used to. I had my first holiday in years and went for an activity weekend in Cumbria – it was a great weekend.”
"I have been with the Society for only a short time, but have had more experiences in that short time than I would have thought possible. I had heard of the Society through the grapevine and was interested in learning more as its values chimed with my own.
Right from the start I could see that the Society was service user led and focused. It is no coincidence that the first person I met at Head Office on the day of my interview was a service user, with whom I had a long chat that put me more at ease for the coming interview. There aren’t many other organisations like that!"
Arrange a sponsorship or fundraising event.
Give up some of your free time and volunteer.
“I was looking forward to starting volunteering as I wanted to help out in any way I could. I met lots of great people and really value the friendships I have formed since I started volunteering.”

“The standard of care my child was given was amazing. My daughter progressed enormously at Rainbow and I will always be grateful for all they did for her.”
Rainbow parent, Kiana’s mum
“Being a volunteer with The Westminster Society is for me a wonderful opportunity to share my passion with people, enjoy some great moments in a friendly atmosphere.”
Hannah Smith, Group organiser
