“I’m so glad I found it. It’s exactly what I’ve been looking to do, it looks amazing. Can’t wait to show the kids the train one day.” ~ Thrive candidate at the Llanelli Railway Trust Goodsshed

"I have so many more friends and people I know I can rely on, I used to struggle making friends feeling I’d be judged but I’ve felt nothing but welcomes with CYCA and the chances I get with myself and the family too. I could write a book on how much I appreciate everything and everyone from there." ~ Thrive candidate

"We are delighted to be working alongside Thrive and being able to welcome Ashley into Tiny Tots. We have been Ashley's confidence grow with every day she comes in. When she first came in, she would not interact with customers at all and was incredibly quiet. She has slowly come out of her shell and is now venturing into the café and giving customers their orders and interacting beautifully." ~ Placement testimonial from Tiny Tots Town Llanelli

"I would like to send a testimony about Mike. What a guy.

As a very new self-employed business, setting up a list of clients and regular work has been challenging and the additional help Mike has brought me, not only as an extra pair of hands but someone to bounce ideas off, allow me to look at larger projects and gain confidence in abilities has been invaluable.

Mikes has been reliable, consistent, resourceful and mingles with the clients in a professional and respectful way that surpasses his young age. He is always keen to try new things and expand on his experiences, he has delivered on his promises and exceeded expectations every time he's helped me out.

My only wish is that my projects could be large enough to warrant a second person regularly. I'd offer Mike a job immediately if that were the case." ~ Placement testimonial Andrew Taylor 

"What an amazing volunteer Rylee is! This testimony does not do them justice!  We are delighted that CYCA and the Thrive project approached us, and offered Rylee as a volunteer, working with LLAMA as a play and support worker to all our families.  Their life experience has been invaluable to our members, and they can work independently knowing exactly what's needed. An asset to any position they've been put in." ~ Placement testimonial LLAMA'S (Llanelli Autism Mams Association)
