Parent

My daughter has been attending The Hamlet for just over two years. During that time we have been thrilled to see her grow in confidence and self-belief. As parents, we have been more than impressed by what The Hamlet provides for all its trainees, not just in terms of the high quality, purposeful, and relevant vocational and life skills it helps to develop, but in the way it fosters resilience and encourages positive relationships between trainees, staff, volunteers, and the wider community. I would not hesitate to recommend The Hamlet to the parents/carers of any prospective trainee.

Parent

Working at The Hamlet has been the best life experience for my son and provides us as parents with peace of mind, knowing he is safe and happy. He looks forward to meeting everyone there and learns really useful life skills. Put simply, it’s amazing!

It’s such a safe place and everyone feels comfortable and included.

David Young Nest café customer

Such a great bunch of friendly people. Called towards the end of a Half Marathon Run for a coffee and a Tea Cake. Hit the spot perfectly, such a lovely place.

Parent

My son gets up every morning and loves the fact that he’s ‘going to work’. As a parent, what more could I possibly ask for when I see my young man going to a beautiful location, supported by incredible staff who promote his independence at every opportunity.

Trainee

It’s changed my confidence because I used to not like coming out of the house and now I love it because of The Hamlet.
