A visit to Rossall School

Earlier this month Guardianship Care Manager, Carol Stevenson made the trip up to Rossall School to meet with two of her students, Beasy Bao (far right) & Alex Chuchin (far left.) Carol makes sure that Beasy and Alex have a safe place to stay during the School holidays or transfers to and from the airport should they decide to travel home.

Carol (pictured above, second from the left) was accompanied by Local Coordinator, Liz Trist (above second from the right.) Liz is Bright World Buddy to both students, visiting them throughout the year and making herself available to them by phone and email.

Carol and Liz were given a tour of the school with Beasy and Alex before sharing a lovely lunch with Travel organiser, Gillian Leggett.

“It was great to meet some of my students. Alex was really cheeky and when I asked what he was interested in and what his favourite thing at school was, his reply was free time.” Carol Stevenson, Guardianship Care Manager.
