Welcome to My Blog!

Hello my name is Anna, and i am a student at Henshaws College in my third year. I am in a wheelchair and i used to be able to walk by myself but now i use crutches and my wheelchair for long distances. I came to Henshaws to learn more independent living skills. Some of these skills include:

Cooking
Mobility
Work Placements off and on campus
Household skills

The campaign is very important to me because I am going to be moving into one of the new independence flats, this will give me a chance to experience what it is like to live independently . At the moment I am living in a house on Campus that none of my friends live in, So i only really see my friends in College. The house they live in is not wheelchair accessible. When i move into the flat I will be able to visit my friends because they will be in the same house and they will be able to see me more and visit the flat i will be living in.


In my Blog I will be writing about what i do at Henshaws and what experiences I have in my day to day life at Henshaws. I hope you enjoy reading it and feel inspired to buy a brick yourself.
