Leon's story

I moved to Leeds from Lincoln after going through a very traumatic experience. My confidence was rock bottom.  I was very new to Leeds. I had no family or friends in Leeds. I was totally alone and feeling very anxious to what Leeds could offer me.

LATCH has been supporting me since 2006 with various support issues that include emotional/counselling support, access to other support services and moving on.

I am now much more confident and content with my life. I’m accessing other support services.  My housing situation has also improved. As I am registered disabled I have now moved into a new two bedroomed housing association property which meets my needs.  I sincerely thank LATCH staff for their support. I feel LATCH was there for me when I needed support.
