Voyages Programme 2009

"Voyages is one place I will always take with me, I met a lot of good people who take you for who you are, the teacher was fabulous, the staff were very understanding and very pleasant. I wish everyone well and I would like to say thank you to everyone in the building."

 
"Voyage was one of the most enjoyable courses I’ve ever done, the staff were very good, and prepared to listen if needed. I never missed any day without good reason and found it perfect for people in recovery and it opened my eyes to things I would not of done, but enjoyed, liked going to the theatre, stud farm, I also feel I can come back if I need to talk to someone, it is a good caring feeling and most importantly drug free."
 
"I found voyages great, It learn’t me how to communicate with people and use the computers. The staff  were excellent and I enjoyed coming in every morning to do my work. It was a brilliant course thanks for everything, I would tell anyone about it because it was brilliant place to learn new things. Thanks for everything."
