Nicola Brockbank
Position: Family Support Worker
I have been with the charity since 2014. I came into this type of work after my son, who is a wheelchair user, left for university. During my years as a full time carer, I set up Wildcats Wheelchair Sports Club in Barrow and a couple of groups for parents of children/young people with a disability. I feel that I have a good understanding of the issues that people with CP and their families might face, and the experience and knowledge to help them. People may find themselves feeling very isolated, and I am able to put them in touch with others in a similar position to help. A network of support is really important, and that is where I see our service as vitally important.
