One customer has secured a full time post; his dad says he is a different person now he is back at work. He writes” Hi sorry i wont be able to make it in myself this week or next week so my dad is going to pick my food up for me if that’s ok?. Just to let you know I won’t be coming anymore after that as I have started working full time and once I have worked a week in hand, I won’t be needing anymore support from the kitchen but could you please thank all the staff for me and tell them I am very grateful for everything they have done for me and my family and they are all a credit to the kitchen.”
