Shave To Raise · 4 August 2021

For 35 years Enrych has empowered adults living with a disability or poor mental health, particularly those who are socially isolated, to live the most active and independent lives possible. This is achieved through our teams of Personal Assistants and Volunteers. Our PA Support Service is a one-to-one person-centred service to increase independence and confidence at home and in the community and access leisure and learning activities. Our team support those we serve with tasks around the house, getting out and about to enjoy activities in the community or to achieve learning, social, volunteering, and work-related goals. Our mission is to empower them to live independently and gain independence at home and in the community. The Enrych Volunteers Service Support has a network of amazing volunteers who can phone or visit every now and again plus a range of online sessions to reduce social isolation. The Enrych Digital Inclusion service introduces digital technology to adults living with a disability and their carers to enable them to access online services and information. Those we serve can also access the many social activities facilitated by our Enrych Teams to enable them to connect with like-minded people in their community.

Story

Hi, my name is Dannii.  I started having support from Enrych almost 2 years ago. I have support from my PAs so that I can live a full, active and independent life.

I have struggled with dyspraxia since I was just 3 and received support from a special needs school. I was able to go to college and studied Health & Social Care and wanted to become a carer for the elderly.

At the age of just 17 I became ill with chronic fatigue which then progressed to me developing other conditions making it so that I became unable to do anything without supervision.

I lost not only my independence and confidence but had no social life and lost connection with everyone and everything I used to enjoy.

Enrych have completely changed my life and I have gained so much confidence! Every day is an adventure, I get to go to so many places I couldn't visit on my own and I now volunteer every week at the Feel Good Café. I absolutely love it! Through their activities and support I have met many wonderful people and have made lots of lovely friends.

Please help me to raise funds for this local charity who have been supporting adults living with disabilities and poor mental health for over 35 years. They do an amazing job and their PA's go above and beyond in everything they do. This is my time to give something back to them for everything they have done for me!

Monies raised can help towards providing social activities and social groups for people like me so that they can live their best life and not be socially isolated.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart x Dannii x
