Hi (Secondary Account),

As a charity dedicated to serving the underserved, we understand that our beneficiaries often encounter personal challenges during their journey with us. MSFDN (Michael Streete Foundation) exist to provide unwavering support through all transition periods that require a young persons endurance, discipline, resilience and accountability - unfortunately, this isn't always possible. We recognise that at particular points within the journey, these challenges can sometimes lead to feelings of frustration or dissatisfaction, which may inadvertently manifest in their perceptions and expressions.

We have therefore, made the decision to REMOVE THE MANAGEMENT OF TRUSTPILOT REVIEWS from our workload as of 26th MARCH 2024. This decision allows us to focus our energy on supporting our beneficiaries working to better navigate situations that may be out of their comfort zones rather than monitoring online feedback that may not fully capture the value, efforts and essence of our mission and values.

However, we are extremely grateful for any constructive feedback whether that be negative or positive, we do receive and cherish the support of our community. Your understanding of the complexities involved and the multifaceted nature in our work means a great deal to us. MSFDN (Michael Streete Foundation) is extremely proud to have huge successes that continue to grow day by day and we thank you for standing alongside us as we continue to serve those in need.

Inside review

My experience with MSFDN as a Kickstarter was, to my utmost surprise,enriching. This charity doesn't only provide support for their members, but also for their staff. And I am grateful for that, they have seen a potential in me that I never imagined I had before. MSFDN is what replaces the traditional school/work system with a an open minded system that fits every body.

MSFDN has helped me gain more…

MSFDN has helped me with gaining more opportunites in my professional and creative life. They definitely have helped many young people with their experiences including mine, with expanding my skills and adding new ones. They have made me much more comfortable and confident when talking to people, whether that be in a formal or informal setting. Everyone has been very supportive and I definitely recommend.

Msfdn had really been beneficial for me…

Msfdn had really been beneficial for me and the experience working as a member has been amazing. It has helped me boost my confidence and express myself in a platform where there are no judgements. I suffer from mental health personally and it has really brought out a side to me I never have experienced where i feel proud of who I am and how I am, everyone is perfect on their own way. I have met really unique people who have really supported me on my journey to success, there are all so many positive tasks and activities set to complete amongst members that impacted so well on my mental health and wellbeing! Can not thank MSFDN enough for all the support they have given me! Highly recommend!!!

Right person, right place, right time.

MSFDN was everything I needed that I didn't know. After being stuck in a mental and a physical ditch, I didn't really know where to go or what to do with myself. From being with MSFDN, I've been able to get involved in multiple activities that have benefitted me in more places than one such as my mental health and career prosperity. It has also helped me be able to connect with new people I haven't met before in such a short space of time, as for me this is not something I'm used to. I've felt nothing but comfortable alongside MSFDN, and I wouldn't have changed a thing.

Great opportunities and very supportive

My experience at MSFDN has been amazing. First of all, they really gave me many opportunities to help to me develop my skills in different tasks and areas. These are skills I never forget. Also, working with other great people was a huge bonus for me as I got to produce work with them which we were all very proud of. Lastly, they are very supportive and they really valued me and my mental health.

Working for MSFDN

Working for MSFDN has been a great experience and has enabled me to progress professionally and as a person. During my time here, I have taken on a wide range of tasks including design, research and collaborative tasks that have tested my abilities and communication skills. I have been able to improve through these challenges and become a more efficient worker. When I have struggled here, there has always been someone to help me, whether that be another team member or team leader. Kereen as a leader has been exceptional as well; after working various different jobs in the past I can easily say she has been my best boss due to her ability to understand you and the task at hand. Even when I have felt lost in a task, Kereen doesn't get angry, she supports you and brings you back down to earth. Finally, working amongst a great group of people has been a massive highlight of working here. I've had the pleasure of working in a few different teams and they have all been fantastic.

Excellent learning experience

I enjoyed my time working at Michael Streete Foundation and learning to develop myself. They have a unique hands-on approach to training and skill development that makes sure you get a chance to develop a new skill, or improve on current ones. As someone that was unsure with my skill set, it was nice to have my knowledge with photoshop being used beneficially.
They provide a lot of support by doing activities that are involved in benefitting mental wellness, and being able to work alongside like minded people was a very strong positive

Very helpful

MSFDN have been so helpful when it comes to developing new skills and gaining experience. They have helped me gain all the experience I need getting in to the career I desire.
They have always been there to answer any questions that I might have and are always helpful with everything. I have enjoyed being involved in activities and being involved in the positive impact of mental health has been a big achievement.
I have also met some amazing people that are also going through the same exact thing I am so we have all connected with each other.
Being part of MSFDN has been one of the best decisions I have made and I do not regret it one bit. If anyone was having trouble getting into their desired career then MSFDN will be a big help.
