““BDS - Business Development & Support” really have supported my organisation through an important tender. This took the stress off as BDS took the lead but allowed us to learn along the way. This would have been an extremely stressful time had we not had the support on hand to help us through. BDS talked us through the process, gave advice on what might be best for our organisation and gave us all the finalised documentation. This has been a great learning experience thanks to BDS.”
— Louise Lawson, Centre Manager, Antonine Court Day Centre
“The handout slide information that can be studied and shared with other community members in the Group. Was a great help”
