Spring Lodge SARC

I am strong because I have been weak. I am fearless because I have been afraid. I am wise because I have been foolish.

From a client ‘Sarah is a lovely member of staff. She supported me all the way through, I would recommend the service to anyone that needs it.’

Inspirational Quote, 'When you can tell your story and it doesn’t make you cry, you know you have healed’.

'You’re not a victim for sharing your story. You are a survivor setting the world on fire with your truth. And you never know who needs your light, your warmth and raging courage’.

From a client, ‘I see Springtime and Spring flowers as new beginnings and hope. Working with an ISVA gave me hope and I knew that whatever the outcome of the legal case, the support I received reassured me I would have a new beginning the other side of it. 🌼
