“Hopscotch’s welfare service is SO compassionate! I have been struggling with my disability diagnosis a lot recently, but the lady from Hopscotch gave me so much time and attention to help me out today. I felt very heard and very seen.”
“Today is a wonderful day, my Universal Credit got sorted out and it was all thanks to Hopscotch. I was very unsure of how to make the claim that I needed. You helped me with everything and your explanation was very clear and easy to understand.”

You have been an actual lifeline for me. I had times when I thought I didn’t want to live. You have been kind and helped me understand all my options so that I can make my own choices and finally be happy in my life.
I don’t know what I would do without you, no one else has been able to understand my complicated situation like you have. Thank you so much. I hope I can help someone one day like you have helped me.
