Real Voices
What People Say About Us
We will always be biased about our own work, so here is what the people we actually work with have to say.
Young People
In their own words, from young people who have lived in our homes.
"Before I came to Winners of Tomorrow I had nowhere to go and no idea what I was going to do with my life. They gave me a stable place to live and a Key Worker who actually listened to me. Within six months I had enrolled in college and I felt like I had a real future for the first time. I cannot thank them enough."
T.O.
Former Resident, aged 17 at referral, East London
"The staff here treated me like a person, not just a case number. My Key Worker helped me sort out my benefits, find a course and even came with me to my first appointment at the job centre. I moved into my own flat last year and I am still in touch with the team. They genuinely care about what happens to you."
M.A.
Former Resident, Care Leaver, aged 19 at referral, Barking and Dagenham
Social Workers and Placement Officers
From social workers and placement officers who have worked with us.
"I have referred several young people to Winners of Tomorrow over the past two years and the consistency of their support has been excellent. They respond to referrals quickly, keep me updated throughout the placement and raise any concerns promptly. It is refreshing to work with a provider that communicates so openly and genuinely invests in the young people they support."
S.A.
Senior Social Worker, Leaving Care Team, East London Borough
"Finding the right placement for a young person with complex needs is never straightforward. Winners of Tomorrow took the time to understand the young person's background before agreeing the placement, and the Key Worker built a strong rapport from day one. The progress made in just three months was remarkable. I would not hesitate to refer again."
P.O.
Senior Placement Officer, East London Borough
Partner Organisations
From the organisations we work alongside day-to-day.
"We have worked alongside Winners of Tomorrow on several joint cases involving young people with complex mental health needs. Their team is professional, responsive and clearly committed to the young people in their care. The level of communication and co-ordination has made a real difference to the outcomes we have been able to achieve together."
D.K.
CAMHS Link Worker, NHS Trust, Barking and Dagenham
"Winners of Tomorrow have been a valued partner in supporting young asylum seekers and unaccompanied minors in our region. They approach each young person with cultural sensitivity and genuine care. Their willingness to work collaboratively with other agencies and attend multi-agency meetings consistently sets them apart from other providers we have worked with."
