I began my employment with the Hollybush Learning Disability Project in the Summer of 2006 and decided to take early retirement in March 2019 after many wonderful years with this group of amazing people.
Over this period of time I have learned so much. Supporting individuals with complex needs is inspiring, rewarding, and many times challenging (a good sense of humour required at all times) but I would’nt change the last thirteen years for anything.
My colleagues – to name a few – Caroline, Rosie, Jayne and Emma, have been a joy to work alongside, and of course not forgetting the brilliant volunteers, far too many over the years to mention, all bringing their unique talents to support the Learning Disability Project.
The Learning Disability Project is one of a kind in TCV, offering many different activities which can be enjoyed by people with a wide variety of support needs, building on their skills and providing a safe and welcoming environment.
I hope this project continues for many more years.
Although as previously stated I retired earlier this year, it’s hard to say goodbye, and I am now a volunteer
