Our Testimonials
What they’re saying about us!
Very impressed with the staff, very welcoming, they went above and beyond to make the experience brilliant
“
Being new to the village I was nervous about meeting new people, but I was made to feel so welcome at Bechange Camerados. The staff were so friendly and welcoming, I felt immediately relaxed, I met people ‘just like me’ and haven’t looked back
“
I honestly had no idea that I wasn’t claiming my correct entitlement, I went to Bechange for help with my heating bills and ended up being supported to claim extra benefits
“
It took me such a long time to actually call, but after speaking to you I wish I’d have done it sooner!
