What our guests think

“When I was homeless they pointed me in the right direction and they really cared about me. I have been kept alive due to marah’s help. It’s the support that I have got and being able to chat to people. They have been so compassionate towards me and treated me like a human being despite my mental health and substance misuse problems.”
