Laura's story

Laura Sparrowhawk and Rasime Singh first started working together during a ten-week course at The Rix Centre where Laura has been able to create and develop her own website. She was taught how to plan and present her ideas by using the easy build template.
Laura is now 27 and is been working with Newham Borough Council for 3 years. She carries out day-to-day office duties, such as opening the post, photocopying, filing, typing and sending out letters. Laura has been keen to carry on, with the support of Rasime, in the planning and development of her own website. She works independently and also contributes a lot of ideas during the brainstorms for the contents of the sites. She also writes the text and takes the pictures to support her ideas, and uploads these along with the audio that we record together for her site.

As well as doing work on her own website, Laura assists Rasime in managing and collecting info for the “into Transition” and the “Community Team” websites, both running under the Newham Partnership for People with Learning Disabilities. Laura enjoys making pictures and recording her voice. Watch laura’s video.
