I help with food collections for people in need, and help with fund raising events. I have also helped run Summer clubs for children in food poverty. I have worked in the warm hubs supporting service users by befriending them, and making sure they have eaten while with us.

BackgroundI have overcome and experienced many challenges throughout my personal and professional life.I have been through the education system and helped shape and change many different schools and the attitudes within them, as a result of my attendance. This has led me to mentor and advise other people with disabilities wanting to enter education and further education.Upon graduating further education with a B.A Honours and 2 M.A Degree’s I have worked with various groups, organisations and businesses in helping improve the standards when dealing with disabled people. This has included giving Q & A’s to Physiotherapy students, disabled students within schools and also one to one with occupational therapy students.
