When asked about how DAVSS had supported them, the following comments were received...

"The volunteer took my (court) case in the right direction. She was very, very helpful. I didn’t know what help I could get. I am very thankful."

"I felt very supported. Without the volunteer’s help I wouldn’t be as independent as I am now. I couldn’t see a way out. She gave me support whenever I needed it and was there to advise me."

"In every way. The volunteer spent all day in court with me. She met with me, arranged to have locks changed, advised me and made me feel much safer. She dropped off papers to the solicitor for me. Without her support I would have been in trouble. She was fantastic."

"They were very, very helpful. They helped in so many ways. They were very understanding and they listened to me."
