Holly's Story

Hi I am Holly,

I live in my own home in Kirkintilloch, East Dunbartonshire.  I wanted to tell you about the changes in my life since I have been supported by C-Change. 

Things have not always been easy for me. I didn’t feel that my last support provider listened to me, they were supporting me to do things that I did not want to do.

I used to tell people to leave, this was the only way that I got listened to.

I told my dad I was not happy and wanted to change providers. He then went and spoke to Social Work and different Service Providers.

I have been supported by C-Change for a number of years, in this time I feel that people listen to me. I have reduced the number of hours that I am being supported because my life is so busy I do not need the same support.

I am a Director of dates-n-mates. I enjoy all things politics and link with Enable and I also volunteer in my local MP’s office. I am also studying for my degree in Law and Politics at the West of Scotland University.

I enjoy getting involved in a variety of different things and will keep you up to date with the things I am doing to improve my life.
