It’s the little things that make the big difference—like a staff member remembering your birthday, or checking in because they noticed you seemed down. I’ve never felt so seen and valued in a service like this
I’ve learned to manage my finances, cook from scratch, and even use public transport independently. The staff didn’t just tell me what to do—they guided me in a way that made me feel capable and supported. I feel proud of what I’ve achieved.
When I moved in, I was at my lowest. Evita treated me with dignity from day one. Instead of focusing on my past, they focused on what I could become. I now volunteer weekly at a local café and I’ve started a part-time college course. Their belief in me changed everything
I’ve lived in council and private housing before, but nothing compares to Evita. The staff are approachable and truly human. If something needs fixing, it’s sorted quickly. If I’m struggling, there’s someone at the end of the phone. They treat me like a person, not a problem
Evita helped me transition out of a hostel into a place that felt like home. They offered me support, routine, and structure when I needed it most. I’ve stopped drinking, started training for a job in security, and reconnected with my family. Life feels possible again
I expected basic housing, but Evita’s properties are modern, clean, and fully furnished. I was surprised how ‘homely’ it felt. It’s clear they put thought into making sure we feel proud of where we live. I now host my sisters for tea on Sundays—it feels like mine, not just temporary accommodation
