Alan Booth, a 34-year-old with a learning disability, was honored at the Royal Garden Party due to his impressive recovery journey supported by Hft Surrey. After losing his job and experiencing isolation and depression, Booth was aided by Hft's Outreach Team, who facilitated his move to supported living. With the help of his key worker, he engaged in volunteering, personal development, and new hobbies, significantly enhancing his mental wellbeing. Booth expressed gratitude for the support received, highlighting the positive impact on his life, including his newfound joy in volunteering and social interaction.
I am happier in my new home and I love volunteering at the day centre. I love meeting new people and having new experiences. My life is now a lot better.
I just felt so low. After losing my volunteering role, I had a lot of free time on my hands. I was not in a good place.
I don't think I could have got this far without the support of Hft. The charity has always been there for me.
Martin has been a constant, relaxing and calming influence on me. He has helped me reduce the stress in my life and take on new hobbies.
