We hosted a Parent Carer Workshop on Wills and Trusts with Rhiannon from Carers Academy. It is such an important subject and Rhiannon made it all as easy to understand as possible and answered all our questions. She gave such helpful advice on how to start the process of making sure the financial planning for our young people is put in place as painlessly as possible. Highly recommend Rhiannon and the Carer's Academy!
Rhiannon has held several sessions for us and her knowledge is just incredible!
She instantly puts everyone at ease, answers any questions, provides very helpful advice and information and is just wonderful!
Navigating SEND systems is an absolute minefield, and Rhiannon's support is just incredible.
Great service, extremely useful from someone who genuinely cares and is an expert in their field. Very happy with the outcome.
We found Rhiannon's consultation invaluable for our estate planning needs regarding our two SEN children. She asked the right questions to unlock what was most important to us, and gave us essential guidance on how to engage with our solicitors in a more effective way. Would recommend to anyone who needs an expert in SEND financial planning!

Thank you so much for your kind review. It was a pleasure to help you draw out the key decisions and make sure your discussions with the solicitors stay focused on what really matters for your children. I’m really glad the session moved things forward for you.
I appreciate you taking the time to leave a review - it genuinely helps other families understand what the consultation can offer.
Rhiannon was very attentive and caring - which given the circumstances (ongoing difficult divorce) I really needed; and she was very accommodating given the deadlines I had at the time. She gave me clear steps on what to do, advice to approach the legal case; and I hope to continue to use her advice, which was very focused on our childs unique profile, as the divorce progresses

Thank you so much for your kind words. Divorce is never easy, and when you’re also caring for a child with additional needs it can feel overwhelming. I’m glad I was able to help you identify the real financial costs of caring, so that your child’s unique needs can be properly recognised as part of the process. I’ll be here to support you as things move forward.
My wife and I felt completely overwhelmed at the prospect of trying to manage the complexities of the situation with our daughter. Right from the outset Rhiannon was immensely accommodating of our need to quickly understand what we needed to prioritise in terms of our finances and our daughter's future. She cut through the complexity and came up with a clear plan that was understandable and made the situation feel far less overwhelming. We were also really impressed with her willingness to answer any follow up questions we might have. We would highly recommend her to other SEND parents.

Dear Tim, thank you so much for your kind words. I know how overwhelming it can feel when you are trying to make the best decisions for your child's future, and I am glad that our work together has brought clarity and reassurance. It was a privilege to support you both, and I'm pleased the plan feels clear and manageable. Thank you so much for taking the time to review! Rhiannon
Rhiannon has so much relevant experience, and was really thorough in covering all the things I need to put in place to secure my children's future when I am no longer here. Her online tutorials also gave me clear understanding of everything I needed to consider. She was really easy to talk to and has provided me with a detailed plan with the steps I need to put in place. A great relief and weight off my shoulders.

Dear Sara - I'm so glad you feel like a weight is off your shoulders - that's lovely to hear. It was a pleasure to walk you through the Secure Futures Consultation. You've got a detailed plan now which I know will stand you in good stead. I look forward to helping you further, Rhiannon
Brilliant service! Rhiannon made a complex and emotional process feel manageable. The team truly cares, and their advice is top-notch. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them.

Thank you so much! It was a real pleasure getting to know you and helping you throughout the Secure Futures Consultation.
I didn't know how or where to start with getting a Will and a Trust set up which would protect my vulnerable daughter in the future. The online course for Wills & Trusts was so useful and a follow up one to one consultation was really great to answer further questions and concerns I had. There is a minefield of things to know and be aware of. Rhiannon has set me on a path to navigate this.
