Claire, Josh’s Mum

“Without Helen & Douglas House, we would be exhausted. We would be lost without their help.

Sometimes we stay at Helen & Douglas House to get a settled night’s sleep, and sometimes we come home and have a break from our child’s extra needs.”

Mary, Jack’s mum

Victoria, Jessica’s mum
