The speed at which the 180DC Bristol team work is remarkable... I would not hesitate to recommend CSRN's services to other voluntary organisations as you have made real and demonstrable improvements to the way that we work.  It is a genuine pleasure to have meetings with the CSRN & 180DC Bristol teams.

Alexandra Stumpp, Communications Officer

"The CSRN team that worked with us were phenomenal!  They quickly got to grips with the impact that our charity has experienced due to COVID-19 and understood the need for us to adapt our service in order to stay connected with those who rely on Paul’s Place.

The team took the time to consider the needs of our service users and staff and quickly identified the areas in which we needed support.  Thanks to them we now have in place new technologies to help us deliver “Paul’s Place at Home” and stay virtually connected to others.

Thanks to their help and input we feel more confident as a charity in supporting people in this new way.  They have also given us the tools to help make Paul’s Place at Home sustainable.

We cannot thank them enough, their support, input, professionalism and skills has come at a very difficult time and has helped us to support others to continue to live life to the full."
