Hello! My name is Luanda, and I’m the Community Health and Engagement Officer for Eastbourne, East Sussex. I bring 15 years of care industry experience to the team, having worked in various roles including Care Coordinator and Mandatory Care Trainer. I have always enjoyed and learnt enormously working with carer as well as service users
The East Sussex Wheelchair Service is committed to supporting the health, wellbeing, and social inclusion of wheelchair users across our communities.
We recognise the importance of physical activity, sport, and community participation in maintaining independence, confidence, and overall wellbeing.
It has been a year since I started my role as the Community Health and Engagement Officer at Ross Care. Coming from a foreign country, just a few months prior, I initially felt of a huge challenge. The company also underwent some significant changes during this time. As I progressed, I unveiled more about the role and how I can make a change in the community I serve.
Shining a spotlight on...
At Ross Care, we are privileged to see first-hand the impact the wheelchair can have on improving lives. As we celebrate International Wheelchair Day on March 1st, we're pleased to share a series of short reflections from our staff, Service Users & partners that highlight the positive impact of wheelchairs on individuals' lives.
After a successful work experience in 2021 collaborating with Little Gate Farm, the East Sussex Wheelchair Service has again extended its support to the farm's Supported Employment initiative.
