"Intervention from Shine has given me confidence and focus along my journey."
"Before finding Shine I didn’t really understand hydrocephalus."
"Shine has given me a better understanding of the condition and signs to look out for. They have also guided me with regards to benefit entitlements when they were turned down, namely PIP. Shine supported me to appeal the decision when I felt deflated, or there were no other options. I feel I am not alone and have support when needed. They have helped me learn that bad days are to be expected and are normal ways to feel with this permanent condition. Intervention from Shine has given me confidence and focus along my journey."
