Oh Lord Pedro. Sorry for the delay. I didn’t have my phone today. Lord Pedro… may God bless your life immensely for the guidance and brilliant work and help that the Lord offered us. Immense gratitude…

For me, WWCUK is the only organization for Portuguese speaking migrants that works for the community. I have not seen any other Portuguese organization working like WWCUK. The way I was helped with my benefits case is just wonderful. Your staff are so friendly and patient. I hope that you continue to exist.

I would like to thank WWCUK for the good work they did for me. Your organization helped me with my housing, welfare and education issues. I am especially thankful to you for helping my children enroll at a local school. I would appeal to anyone who has a problem getting in touch with WWCUK in order to get help and assistance.

If it was not for your lot, I mean WWCUK I do not know what would happen to me and my children. It is thanks to you that I managed to get private accommodation when the council discharged its duties of helping me as I did not pass the usual residence test. Being new in the country with no English, was tough. many, many thanks.

I was very pleased with the services provided to me and my family by your staff. Through you, we found a new accommodation after staying in an overcrowding temporary accommodation for 4 years. With your help, the council managed to rehouse us to better accommodation. Now that I know you exist, I will always come to your center for advice and assistance. God Bless You all.

As soon as I heard that WWCUK opened an outreach work office in Stockwell, south London, I was very happy and said to myself, at last, we have a Portuguese Speaking Advice Center that we have longed for. The following week of the WWCUK opening, my husband lost his job. I went to them and we were welcomed with open arms. Your organization helped my husband apply for JSA, housing benefit and council tax benefit. Thanks to you that we managed to apply for a child tax credit which we were unaware of.

Good morning, how are you!? I hope everything is fine. I would like to thank you for your professionalism. It was incredible and successful. I returned from Portugal on Sunday and my son’s passport is here on Monday. The confidence in your work is incredible. I am very grateful.

I would like to thank the Welwitschia Social Support Centre for their great work in my UK Residency case. I am in tears after many years, since (1996) passing from lawyer to lawyer without success. Today Welwitschia has finally succeeded where many have not been able to. My many thanks to Doctor (Pedro Lunguela) and the entire Welwitschia team. May God always bless you and may you all have a long life, and may you continue to do the good work you have done for the Community. God bless you all??
