Our clients are at the heart of what we do. Here are just a few of the lovely things the families of those we work with have said about the work we do at GoGet Active.
“He achieved so much”
“My son loved his sessions with GoGet. (He is away at college now) He achieved so much. He was well supported by Andy, Helen and their team. He was always so much calmer after his afternoon with GoGet. Knowing my son was relaxed and happy busy doing activities he enjoyed meant I could also relax. I feel that knowing you have the right support with the right team helps the wider family not just the individual.”

“The perfect start to adult life”
“Emilie loved hydro, adaptive, cycling and rebound at school. GoGet have enabled her to access those activities and more out in the community. The perfect start to adult life. GoGet gives my daughters opportunities and experiences that I have neither the energy or manpower to give them! An amazing, dedicated and highly professional service that gives me a break and enhances their lives.”
- Helen
“Absolutely amazing”
“My son has Autism, learning difficulties and extreme challenging behaviour, so I’ve always been sceptical about who takes him out and works with him etc. The GoGet team have been absolutely amazing and built up a fantastic relationship with him over the last few months before taking him out. He really looks forward to his Tuesday Ladies, Katy and Susannah who take him out and about to various places and get him really active and involved with lots of different activities. Their warm and kind nature has made this a really easy addition to my son’s week. He always comes home with a huge smile on his face and even let them come into our home to hold his ‘baby‘ (sparkle the guinea pig) this never happens, so that’s how comfortable he feels with them. A great team and we are very grateful for the work they do.”

“Going out and having fun with a friend”
“Lucie finds accessing services hard as she needs specialist help but wants to be 'normal' and independent. She sees her time with Susannah from GoGet as going out and having fun with a friend rather than a carer, giving her a chance to experience new activities without Mum, and the social contact she craves.”
- Helen
“Care in the proper sense”
“When you have a family member with a high level of support needs it's incredibly difficult to know where to begin with sharing the 18+ years of knowledge and experience that you carry around in your head. GoGet have a remarkable approach to their support which reflects a no nonsense, practical and optimistic attitude in their work. Theirs is care in the proper sense; caring about the work that they do, caring about the complete well being of the people with whom they work and caring enough to ensure that the family feels confident and involved. We're incredibly proud of what our son has achieved, he has shown determination and resilience in the face of some real challenges created by his impairment. Sometimes it is easy to forget the starting point or the complex plans needed to create the smallest success. GoGet stand entirely apart from other providers in their understanding of this, their energy and their willingness and ability to see beyond perceived limitations.”
