Some of the best days of my working life (and I’ve been around in the Health and Social care sector for 27 years!) have been shared with these exceptional young people.

 To see them connect with others with a shared life experience is magical.

 To hear them support, encourage and cheer each other on, is magical.

 To see the worried expression of a wee girl turn visibly to sheer determination to push herself beyond what she thought she could achieve because of that encouragement, is beyond magical.

I haven’t laughed, cried, or loved my job as much as I have in the past 12 months.

 These moments will be with me forever and for that I feel really privileged.
