I had no help, support and felt lost. My autism and anxiety made it hard for me develop professional relationships.

But the first time I met Nicola, I liked her. Switch Now had been recommended to me by the volunteer coordinator at Hinchingbrooke Hospital.

I wanted to find work and help people, but I didn’t not know how or where to start.

Nicola has helped me so much – my favourite time of the week is when I see her.

I now love being around people and I love everyone I work with. As well as volunteering at the hospital, I have worked with the Pets as Therapy team as my aim is to work with animals. I have also now started working at a local café too.

Without Nicola I would not be where I am now. I’m so happy and love everything I am doing. I feel very comfortable with Nicola, she listens to me and has helped me with all my different work I am now doing. She is amazing.
