“The course far exceeded my expectations. The lectures were delivered in an engaging, fun and relatable manner which could be applied to real-life everyday experiences. My placement with the Destitute Asylum Seekers Huddersfield (DASH), helped to boost my levels of professionalism as well as my confidence, communication and networking skills.”

“My work placement at West Yorkshire Community Chaplaincy Project (WYCCP) was really interesting and a great experience. Providing resettlement advice and support for ex-offenders upon their release gave me a full flavour of the duties involved. There were times when the service users needed help with issues surrounding their mental health needs, which made me realise it was something I would love to do in the future.”
