Michele - 5 start lady

Just spoken to Michele at Stoney Stanton to place an order. What a refreshing delight to speak to someone who works on phone lines all day but comes across as "fresh as a daisy" and is lovely, helpful, informative and personable. How lucky that Stoney Stanton are to have such a charming person to work with.

Lisa at the Doncaster branch

Lisa at the Doncaster branch - what a 5 star supportive, compassionate, informative and wonderful member of staff - if only everyone in life were as fabulous - the world would be a lovelier place to live. Thank you for sorting my issue out so well - when 3 others had failed to.

Women’s Empowerment in Pokhara, Nepal - best 2 weeks of my life

Women’s Empowerment in Pokhara, Nepal. Simply put, the best experience and most worthwhile 2 weeks of my life.

It is wonderful to contribute to the amazing achievements that “base camp GVI team Pokhara, Nepal” ceaselessly deliver all year round. Their efforts and yours, when you join that team, enable the wonderful women, that I was privileged enough to meet, to brighten their future by learning English alongside a life skill that will enable them to sustain themselves in their future.

The women all share one thing in common, they have experienced a “challenging background”. Sex trafficked/ child brides/ other domestic situations.
When you arrive to volunteer - you are fabulously well looked after.
Tara – the main man for “basecamp GVI team Pokhara, Nepal" - amazing guy – no wonder there were over 1200 at his wedding. Creates a huge “family feel” for the volunteers, the other staff members, the homestay hosts – the ripple effect of camaraderie extends to all the others involved in the volunteering projects.
Homestay - fabulous - lockable twin rooms, comfie beds, ensuite shower room, ceiling fan, universal plug sockets. Chitra cooks amazing food and lunches are all included at a local cafe.
Pokhara, amazing city, brilliant, harmonious friendly people, many combine volunteering with a trekking week (Tara would help you to organise that!)
Mix of free time, volunteering time, social time, meal time – ideal balance - mainly gap year/ student volunteers - great atmosphere. On Women's Empowerment, worked with Sita - beautiful inside and out - directed your teaching whilst respecting your independent ideas. Tsiring, fabulous lady from Tibet, full of wonderful insight into the life in Nepal.
From the education given by GVI, some have become paralegals.
The life skills taught include cooking (I got a chance to make momos on the introductory weekend - harder than it looks!), Some are taught sewing/ haberdashery. On completion of the 3 month course, they are given a sewing machine to take home and materials - so they can make clothes, sell them to enable them to benefit themselves, their families and the local communities. The whole aim is to enable the women to be independent, not create dependency.
Most worthwhile, life changing, inspirational fortnight of my life. Thank you to everyone. I miss them all. If you are in doubt whether to go - don't be. Book now.

Hi Cathy

Thank you so much for leaving such an in-depth review on your trip to Nepal with GVI. We really value the time that you took to do this and know that future participants will find this extremely helpful.

It was so amazing to read about how your hard work and efforts improved the lives of those women around you and how despite their hardship, their resolve has inspired you. I am sure you did the same for them and we thank you for your dedication on your project!

We are thrilled that you felt so connected to each place that you visited and that you had such a memorable and life changing time. We also love to hear how our volunteers and participants gain so much insight through experiencing these programs through local people they meet as well as immersing oneself in a new environment, for example at the homestays.

Thank you for your kind words about our staff, we will be sure to pass them on! It is great when their leadership and dedication are also recognised! We are so pleased that you felt supported throughout by them and that you felt they had created a "family" atmosphere!

We hope to see you again soon, perhaps in Nepal or on another GVI program!

All the best,
Katherine (GVI Outreach Team)

Dhiren was fabulous

Dhiren was fabulous. I’d encountered a load of problems with my new phone that I’d bought on line.

Dhiren was incredibly helpful. Sorted out the phone and then organised a far better contract than offered on line.

Don’t bother shopping for “on-line offers” for phones and get caught out like I did. Head to the Vodafone shop at Market Harborough and Dhiren will sort you out.

Professional and friendly.

Professional, knowledgable, accommodating and personable meetings. phone calls and emails with Chris Needham. He was thorough in his explanation of the pensions options available. Answered all my questions and also gave me excellent advice on state and workplace pensions. I know I am in safe hands now.

Gold standard, 100 stars if possible

James and Ethan were fabulous. Came within the 3 hour time slot. Rang when they were 20 minutes away. Both were incredibly professional - as in respectful of my property and careful that they didn't damage anything but also happy, friendly and helpful.
Absolutely brilliant. Gold standard. 5 stars isn't enough :)

Brilliant. Fabulous customer service and price.

Brilliant. Switched a bike on my multi bike policy. Great guy called Alex took me through the obviously necessary questions. Explained the situation. Sorted out the alteration. Price far under the one I expected.

All contact with Bikesure have been excellent.

If you get Alex. Say hi from me!
