"I have found confidence in my ability to achieve outside my home where my role is primarily a mother. It has benefited me greatly to achieve a personal level and achieve thorough support from Clubhouse which is an immense help and I always say thank you to them." (Margaret). "I treat Clubhouse like home where we are all one big working family caring for the association and one another. Some of us come to gain skills, some to volunteer in the work-ordered day, and most of all to have acceptance and understanding." (Julie). |
