Dear Simon,

I just wanted to take a moment to reach out after meeting one of your young people today a Kurdish young man and having a really uplifting chat. I work closely with a lot of asylum-seeking children, and over the years, I've become a strong advocate and lifelong support for many of them, especially as someone who shares a cultural connection. Sadly, I often hear a lot of frustration from these young people when it comes to providers feeling let down, unsupported, or like they're just a number.
But today was different this young man spoke so highly of you. He mentioned your trip to London together, how you supported him in getting his driving license, and most of all, how much you genuinely cared. It honestly stopped me in my tracks. You could hear the respect and gratitude in his voice, it was real.
It's rare I hear young people speak this positively about a provider, and I think that says everything about the way you work. I wanted to personally thank you for what you're doing, not just the practical help, but for giving young people a sense of value, belief, and hope. That matters more than anything, you definitely live up to the values!
I felt I had to reach out, introduce myself, and let you know that what you're doing is being noticed not just by the young people you support, but by others of us working in this space too.

Kindest regards

I am a Personal Advisor working with unaccompanied asylum seekers living in an ASH's home.
I am so impressed by the standard of the accommodation and the high level of care for the young people living there.
The support staff are fully aware of the cultural and personal needs of the young people and their communication with me regarding the young people, is excellent!
I am welcome for visits at the home any time and it is always immaculate and the young people present as happy.
I receive weekly reports, always concise and timely. The general communication is also excellent.
Thank you so much ASHs.

Thank you for the support you have offered our young person particularly around meeting his cultural needs. I would absolutely use ASHS again they communicate well, support the y/p well and go the extra mile to ensure the home is friendly and also meets the cultural needs of y/p which has been very important to our Y/P. They have supported to develop the y/p independence and the y/p has liked living there and always given good feedback about the accommodation itself as well as the staff.
