Lucy

Lucy has been coming to the LSC and Hub since 2021. She’s a bright, fun person who according to Hub Manager, Kerrie Scutt, “Is a wonderful young woman who lights up any room she comes into, we absolutely love supporting her in the Hub”.

Lucy has Hypomyelinating Disorder, has a gastrostomy and a visual impairment – Bilateral Nystagmus. 

She loves all of the sessions on offer including cooking, yoga, the gym, drama, the immersive space and visiting Patchwork Farm and it’s clear that she is prepared to give anything a go! 

Lucy loves to workout at the gym, particularly on the Innowalk machine because she can stand upright and be taller than everyone else. Ally says, “She loves to show us photos, the look on her face is priceless, she’s so chuffed with herself!”  Ally reports, “It’s really nice for Lucy to say she’s been to the gym because it makes her feel the same as everyone else.”  

The family were keen for Lucy to have a broad range of enriching and interesting experiences and Ally explains that the LSC and Hub felt so right from the start – “The staff are just wonderful, our confidence has gone from strength to strength. 

Hub Manager, Kerrie Scutt says the fact that Lucy has settled into the hub and LSC so well is a huge achievement in itself, especially as her transition period was cancelled.

“It’s services like the Hub and LSC that give young people like Lucy the opportunity to get out, meet people and try new experiences, which is absolutely essential when you are a young person living with a disability”.
