Staff and Service
The reviews highlight the importance of staff in shaping the experience of users. Some staff members, such as Bethany, are praised for their kind and supportive nature, while others, like the cook, are criticized for their rudeness and incompetence. The reviewers also mention the lack of collaborative working among staff members, which can lead to a "them and us" complex.
Online Support
The online support provided by the organisation is mentioned as a positive aspect, particularly during the lockdown period. However, some reviewers express disappointment that the online environment has since deteriorated, with instances of bullying-like behavior going unaddressed.
Personal Experiences
Some reviewers share their personal experiences with the organisation, describing it as a "life-saving place" and a "second home". Others mention receiving excellent support from specific staff members, such as Adam, a social worker.
Criticisms and Concerns
The reviewers also express criticisms and concerns about the organisation. Some staff members are seen as superior and unhelpful, while others are praised for their kindness and dedication. The lack of action taken to address bullying behavior in online groups is also a concern.
