Hi, I am Caroline, and I am thrilled to have recently joined North Lanarkshire Disability Forum as a Community Connector. My focus will be supporting people with long term conditions and working with the team at Macmillan to support people through their cancer journey. I have a background in Health and Social Care finance and hands-on experience assisting individuals in managing their Self-Directed Support. I'm committed to advocating for the rights of people with disabilities. My passion lies in guiding people through systems and helping them to access the resources they need to live their best lives. I will be working in Cumbernauld and the Northern Corridor; I am here to support you. Feel free to give me a call on 01698 275710, for a chat about how I can support you or someone you know (Caroline@nldforum.org.uk) ... See MoreSee Less
