"I was doubtful that they could help me but I was out of options. Id had major surgery and was officially disabled. I was unable to work, struggling financially and just needed a bit of help. My family were totally supportive but without Perennial Im not sure what would have happened. The caseworker came to see me almost immediately and things improved from there. For the first time I was able to explain fully what was happening and how I was feeling. It was a massive relief just to be able to talk to a friendly face without being judged.

My illness meant my business closed overnight. One day a full order book, working every day, the next I was in hospital and close to death. Perennial took the weight off my shoulders, sorted out our finances and dealt with creditors, which allowed me to focus my energy on the things I needed and it really helped.

I cant thank Perennial enough, they have helped get me back to work and have been absolutely incredible. My wife and I are happier than weve been for a long time we are able to sleep easily and were no longer worried about opening the post. My children dont even know that we were in financial trouble and thats fantastic. They now also have a beautiful safe place to play in and I can be outside watching them play.
