"Three years ago I found myself recovering from an acute stroke and feeling extremely sorry for myself.
Then along came the wonderful actors of your service who patiently read books and manuscripts to me. Although still mildly aphasic, I can now read again, thanks to their caring inspiration during my long stay in the ward"

"I was expecting an enema and you gave me a very enjoyable twenty minutes"
​
- Patient; Chelsea & Westminster Hospital
"I think what you're doing is excellent within difficult situations, and you bring light into darkness and some reality into hospital life which is unreal. And you do reach the imaginative, emotional side of people who are hospitalised, and remove for a little moment the crushing un-reality of it all.”

"I have never come across a charity like yours. To have a visit several times a week from somebody who is a professional actor and is able to devote at least half an hour a session to me is mind boggling! You’re so efficient, you keep excellent notes, I really cannot fault you!’
