“When I first started with Health Works Cornwall, I wasn’t sure how they would be able to help, I had been introduced to them through a friend who was on the project and I was recently diagnosed with Type 2 Diabetes, I have a Special Needs son and I was trying to start up my own business and I was not sure where to turn.

Since being on the project I have been able to get a huge amount of help with my business start up and am now in a position to start trading around Christmas.

My confidence has grown and has had a knock-on effect at home as well, I have been able to tackle many personal issues which is as a direct result of Nikki helping me and my son to move forward in our lives.

If it wasn’t for Nikki and her support, my son and I would not be where we are today.  Through her help and guidance, my journey is back on track and my son now has options for the future, where we weren’t sure what his future would be after he left college.

Nikki gave us the information we needed and the contacts to help put things in motion.  I saw my son smile for the first time since leaving college and we both saw the positive changes in each other due to the help we have received.

I found a friend in Nikki, as well as an advisor and in short (or not so short) she is amazing, and I certainly wouldn’t be as far forward as I am if it hadn’t been for her and the HWC project.”
