Chelsea is well-known around Southwell. She attends Flower Pod and Reach Southwell and is a mentor on our ROSE project, trained to deliver important messages on staying safe to young people with learning disabilities, professionals and carers. At weekends, Chelsea loves to relax after her busy week, going out and about on her bike or catching up on her shopping at local shops.
Chelsea’s life is very firmly rooted in local life and she is an active member of the community. She will become one of 12 tenants to move into the accommodation we are planning to build in Southwell for local people with learning disabilities. You can find out more about our plans here.
This is Chelsea's first time writing a blog which has given her the opportunity to explain in her own words, why it is so important to her that she has the choice to remain living in Southwell.
Thank you Chelsea - we look forward to your next post!
