“My experience of using SSNEL is absolutely up there with the best professionals I have known in my 33 year career. Their hard work is palpable, the knowledge is vast and the speed of assistance is virtually immediate. Claire Etheridge is super responsive to any query and any help Claire can give CARE is developed by Claire to the nth degree, so CARE gets the most out of it. She listens to what we need, thinks about it and helps us to act and where necessary, she will act herself. She believes in us and what we do, she ‘sees’ us and attaches great value to what we do because she has seen it, particularly during covid where everyone was under pressure and SSNEL stepped up to plate and helped the public directly where needed. Claire is right behind us, alongside us and is truly indispensable to us. Amy and Pippa have been a massive help with Amy arranging meetings and disseminating important information to all agencies and always keeping us informed. Amy is a delight to speak to. Pippa’s advice over the years has been super helpful and the effort she took to critically friend an NLCF yearly report I did gave me so much confidence in my work and our organisations reflection of itself to our key funder. Pippa knows so much and I have such respect and trust in her. Basically, SSNEL, I love you!! :)”
