People's Stories

Tan’s Story

When I was 15 my mother bought me a flight from my home in Vietnam to France in the hope that I could find a better life than the one I currently had.

Iain’s Story

My support worker asked me if I would like to take part in an event at the Xtreme Karting Complex at Newbridge, near Edinburgh airport. I wasn’t too keen at first, but she asked me again the following week and my answer was more enthusiastic!

Josie’s Story

I like working with children and I would like to find a job to do this. I wanted to gain some experience and managed to get a work placement set up at a local primary school

Peter’s Story

Before the referendum I was really hoping for an Independent Scotland. I would talk to my support worker about this a lot. I was disappointed we did not get independence, however it was arranged for me to attend the First Minister’s Question Time and to meet Nicola Sturgeon.
