John said: “I’m really pleased to be invited to come along today and support the vital work that Porchlight are doing here and across the county. At a time when the government is cutting spending I think it needs to be remembered how vital services such as those provided by Porchlight are.”
Roger Jarrett who manages Porchlight’s services in Dover said: “The agency day is an opportunity for different organisations that support people with complex needs in the local area to meet with each other and strengthen working partnerships. I am very grateful to John Altman for attending.”
