Elizabeth’s story: “Thank you for helping my family on its journey!”

Elizabeth is a single mum of two from overseas. Her ten-year-old son has been going to our after school club for six years and her daughter, who turns three in January, is a regular at our under-5s activities – which they both love attending. 

Elizabeth says she is really grateful for the opportunities that BDCA provides to connect her family to the local community, and help her manage a busy life. For example, when she was working in central London until 4pm and rushing home to pick up her son on time, BDCA arranged to collect him from school and take him to the after school club.

Elizabeth now tries to give something back. She says it feels good to support the other parents she has met, such as by helping to tidy up at the under 5’s group and sorting the school uniform donations they receive.

She says, “Thank you from my heart for your support and activities that make us part of the community. It’s been a such a lovely journey for my family, and one that I know will continue – I’m already looking forward to my daughter joining the after school club!”
