At Teacher Support Network, Teacher Support Scotland, Teacher Support Cymru and Recourse, we believe the best way to understand why you should help us, is to hear from the very people we have helped:

"I was so pleased I had rung. I have never used this type of service before but found it very helpful in organising my thoughts. Thank you."

"You helped to persuade me of the need to take some time off and that my feelings were not abnormal."

"When you're at a really low point in your life or job - just to have someone to talk to who can help you put things into focus is fantastic - thank you!"

"Talking to someone over the phone was a relief. The lady I spoke to was very understanding and supportive. I want to thank her and your charity for just being there. Thank you."

"I was given good advice and listened to - something I haven't experienced in a long time. Thank you."

"It's a very useful service as sometimes you need a listening ear and someone to turn to for advice or to guide you to your own answer."

"It was great just to talk to someone objective about my situation, and get some perspective. Thank you!"

"I really needed someone to talk to, and it was excellent to have someone that understood what I was feeling."

"I found the service very helpful; the person on the other end of the phone was easy to speak to about what is a very difficult subject. I felt that I was not being judged or put down because of my circumstances."

These are just a small sample of the comments we regularly receive from people who have used our services. We can only help these people thanks to the generous support of our donors. If you would like help us to help thousands of teachers, please make a donation today.
