“I have supervised members of The Oswin Project refurbishing a property. They have been punctual, hardworking and motivated. They finished their work within the agreed time and produced a very professional job. My team were happy to work with them and we will be using them again.”

“Oswin didn’t treat me like a service user, like dealing with me was a box to tick, they treat me with respect. I now volunteer with the charity and it’s the best thing I’ve ever done”
