Elizabeth
Elizabeth from Stockport is blind in one eye and is managing deteriorating hearing. Although Elizabeth’s approach to life has always been to build on her strengths she struggled to find work.
"I am delighted to be working again and I want to inspire other people who are looking for employment and have a disability or health condition. Everyone at my new employers has been so helpful and friendly. I really feel part of the team and that my skills are valued. Being employed means that I can start to save and plan again for the things that I like to do."
