Working at Ty Hafan has helped me a great deal with my anxiety to the extent that I no longer receive counselling. I work with a great bunch of people who accepted me for who I am. The staff who I have met are welcoming and so friendly. Volunteering at Ty Hafan is so peaceful and tranquil that I forget where I am, plus the feedback you get back from staff and visitors is overwhelming.
