1: PLEASE TELL US HOW YOU CAME TO KNOW ABOUT UAA On tenth month of 2023 I was sited in a charity organisation for the homeless when a volunteer and a friend for the charity approached me on the bench. She politely intervened to share a form of help because I did look in despair. She introduced me to get to know UAA after small chat. A day later I did put efforts to explore more and finally knew UAA as another nearby charity organisation in the community that offer support to those in need.Â
2: PLEASE TELL US BRIEFLY ABOUT YOUR SITUATION BEFORE YOU CAME TO UAA. A month and half before October of 2023 I was already in devastating, dangerous and isolating situation before I knew or came to UAA. I’d been in pursuit for any assistance I could get for the reasons I lacked a secure place to live, food and other personal needs. I faced the difficulties back then before I came to know UAA for I was facing homelessness.
3: PLEASE TELL US HOW LONG YOU’VE BEEN SUPPORTED BY OR PARTICIPATING WITH UAA Being around UAA as needful person for some time and throughout I have realised that sense of family and friendliness through their support I have gained in the period. On my hand, I have assisted the community through UAA in the small ways I am capable of. I have been with UAA in supporting the community in well being through physical exercise. We’ve been together in support for now nearly eight months.
4: PLEASE TELL US HOW UAA HELPED YOU WITH YOUR SITUATION (WHAT UAA DID OR IS DOING FOR YOU) UAA has partly assisted me in ways which I’m grateful for. I have had access to their meals for survival and also being in their welcoming warm space where I be productive and learn anything .UAA has been providing mental health counselling services and group online on weekly basis where I could join in whenever felt I needed assistance .I have had some cloth donations from UAA over the past winter season, I was involved in few of their charitable community events along the year and some supported journeys out of town in the time have been with them. I remember a one-time escapade with community to Cambridge town for museum visits, also a visit to six fields stadium for games watching, journey to Milton Keynes for exposure all courtesy of UAA charity. Finally, through getting myself involved to helping with community well being through UAA and in return I have also received micro-funding for small needs to keep me going.
5: PLEASE GIVE YOUR COMMENTS ABOUT YOUR RELATIONSHIP AND THE SUPPORT ANN, MUCHIE, PEDRO, TRISH (UAA ADMINISTRATORS) They are all such kind hearts and important people in the community. They’ve been all my long time leaders and helpers working in the UAA organisation that I have been looking up to for any support, assistance and also learning from them. They have been there to oversee my concerns and also in terms of the type of support I have received is that they are willing to do anything to help out. They have done their best parts in contributing to my situation in whatever efforts of which I am forever grateful. May they be blessed.
