It is a really sad day when the council ignores the most needy, to save a relatively small amount of money in overall budget terms. Families will suffer when life is already difficult enough.

It has helped me to make lots of friends through weekly get togethers and has given me the confidence to spend time away from my family on some weekends away. Contact has helped me to lead a normal life.

The loss of Contact will leave a big hole in the life of myself and friends.

He is autistic and has no social life except his Wednesday nights which he so looks forward to. The dedicated team of workers are so wonderful. Only people in similar situations tous can truly understand how devastating this awful problem will be without the one night in the week the members can enjoy themselves. Let's hope the people who make the decisions over funding will never have to be in our position. Lucky them.

Without it many of the users of the service would lead less rich and active lives. Contact for some of its service users is the only regular face to face contact they have.
