Janet Lonergan

     Here you can read about the work of Janet Lonergan, Co-Chair of the Wandsworth Learning Disability Partnership Board



Hello, my name is Janet.  I live in Battersea with my dad.  I am a student at Brixton College, doing Action Community Employment.  It’s hard work, but I want to find a job.  I want to work with people with learning difficulties who need support, because I’ve got learning disabilities and would like to help people.  I volunteer at youth clubs.  I could help people to learn to use buses and trains like I do.  I like music, visiting friends, and shopping.


 

The first time I went to a Partnership Board meeting I was nervous, but I wanted to speak up for people who couldn’t speak for themselves.  Then we were invited to talk to members of the Council and that really gave me confidence.

    If I had a magic wand, I'd like people to have more confidence to go out. I'm looking forward to being Co-Chair of the Partnership Board. It's going to be hard work, and I'll need some support. I want to make sure we in the Board treat everyone with respect.
