What our students say…
“Ghost hair academy completely transformed my life”
“I’m bonding better with my kids and partner. I’ve not run away from the family home since attending the course” “I’m working with social services towards having my daughter home. I’ve attended all my probation and KCA appointments. I’ve achieved so much; I passed Ghost, peaced together and sew successful courses”
“My life is changed. I’ve been housed, DV is under control and I’m single and Probation is complete”
“I’m clean and working towards seeing the kids. Still on probation but I’m attending now”
“I knew I had to deal with the DV. It had an effect on kids and now they are more balanced and happy!”
“I’m staying away from my abusive partner. I’m getting support and looking to be relocated. The kids are spending far more time at home, No drugs or alcohol and I’m attending all appointments with CRI and probation”
“I’m much more confident”
“I’ve been re-housed and my kids are coming home. I’ve got lots more contact with my kids and restrictions have been taken off so I’m allowed to take them all day anywhere I choose. I’m drug free and single!”
“I can’t believe how far I’ve come. I love hairdressing!”
