What Our Visitors say

Sara Stewart
"Putting on a brave face can be tiring and there are definitely some dark nights where suddenly it just hits me and I get really upset. People at The Haven are not shocked - they have seen worse or better. You can go there and don’t have to pretend you are coping. You can go and just relax which is a huge relief."
