Student stories - A Day in the life of Elin

Treloar’s is a School and a College based in Hampshire providing education for extraordinary, full-of-potential disabled young people and adults. Every young person deserves an education which sets them up for life, but sadly, face many challenges in receiving that education. At Treloar’s, we look beyond the disability to help our students fulfil their potential.

Elin was diagnosed with Cerebral Palsy at one year old, having spent most of her first year in and out of hospital. She struggled with eating and drinking and her communication and confidence levels were particularly low in new situations.

In 2018, Elin started at Treloar’s and has continued to flourish. Four years on, she is not only able to communicate with her peers but can eat and drink well enough that she no longer needs a gastrostomy.

We produced Elin’s film to show how she has overcome the many obstacles and challenges from her early years to become the confident and happy child that she is now. Elin was delighted to be a superstar (in her own words) for the day, showing us how the life-changing support provided by Treloar’s has changed her life.

Our amazing fundraisers make a real difference to the lives of the young people here at Treloar’s. You can help in many ways: run a marathon, hold a cake sale, climb a mountain or play TRELOTTERY, the possibilities are endless!
