News: LOOK mentee gives powerful interview to BBC Radio

BBC Radio ran a fantastic interview with one of our mentees, Chloe, and her mum, Jane. Chloe was born with severe visual and hearing impairment. Click through to listen to this inspiring and moving interview.

If you can spare just nine minutes, please do listen to this wonderful interview by BBC Radio Hereford & Worcester with one of our LOOK mentees, Chloe, and her mum, Jane (our Parent Support Officer). Chloe was born with severe visual and hearing impairment. In this interview she brilliantly articulates her journey and how LOOK has supported her. This is a very powerful and moving clip that encapsulates what our organisation is all about. We are so proud of Chloe and Jane, and also Chloe’s mentor, Andrea, who Chloe talks about in the clip. We really hope this interview inspires and encourages those who listen to it.
