I found out about Lifted recently through a phone call I made to a different department and the support they have given me regarding help with my son who has autism, is amazing. I feel more happier inside. Before I knew about Lifted, the general day to day strains were getting to me and when I came to Lifted I found the staff there to be kind, friendly and respectful. I like the way they have different activities going on with parents and carers of children and adults with special needs. It makes a big difference to people’s lives who may feel isolated. A big thank you to Shekila and Sue for all their ongoing help.

I am very grateful for the support you provided me and my kids. We got the food bank voucher and help out with the form filled out, it’s goes a long way for us, I really appreciate your service, strength effort and passion you have for this work. Bless your organisation.

A massive THANK YOU to Shekila and Sue for coming along to Alma Park and meeting our parents. They were very appreciative of hearing how you could support them.

I’d like to thank and show appreciation to Shekila so much I literally couldn’t thank her enough!

I reached out to lifted and Shekila greeted me there straight away and made me feel very comfortable

She has gone above and beyond , checked in with me and truly showed she genuinely cared. Shekila has helped me with my child’s DLA forms and renewal I struggle myself with words and writing and putting things down on paper and without her patience and help I’d of still been staring at the blank forms. So I’d like to thank Shekila so much and I really appreciate lifted 

Thank you . 

I just wanted to let you know I had an appointment with your colleague some weeks ago. I desperately needed some advice with regards to any financial support I may be entitled to, as I’ve been struggling with work because of my sons needs.

She was extremely helpful she gave me lots of information and great advice on how to move forward. She demonstrates good knowledge but above all she understood where I was coming from and just wanted to help. I am now looking into all the different kinds of support that’s out there hoping to find something that works for and my family. Many thanks to you all, for the work that you do. 

Last July a kind lady at your organisation helped me fill out the PIP forms for my daughter. I said I’d let her know how we got on but never got round to it.

Please pass on my thanks to her.

(I’m a mum of a 16 year old, with autism and learning disability, who was at Piper Hill and had stopped speaking and has since started  at David Lewis School and now won’t stop talking.)

Please let her know that we were awarded high rate PIP and high rate mobility and I am very grateful for her help.

Love all the hugs I get.

Lifted support me and I love them.  

Ice cream van and Christmas are my favourite things to talk about with Lifted

Lifted is a source of community, you have a laugh, build confidence. I love the walking group. Lifted have helped me get time for myself. Love Heather

It has been really good to work with Lifted staff, volunteers and group members over the least few years. From several coming on our joint Walks for Carers, along with carers from other groups in Manchester, Salford, Bury and Wigan, to some of you doing the walk leaders training and setting up your own weekly walks in Wythenshawe Park, still coming on some of our joint walks and also hosting a few of those in Wythenshawe Park, it has been a pleasure and rewarding to see you and how your walk leaders and walkers have progressed. Hope you carry this on for many years to come. Walking is so beneficial for physical and mental health, socialising and general enjoyment.

Good luck with your continuing work in all its aspects.

Best wishes
