The role has transformed her confidence
Megan told the Yorkshire Evening Post: “I decided that I wanted to help and support the students and staff that helped me along my way. Because I'd already been volunteering and I knew the program from a student perspective and a volunteer perspective, I was lucky enough to get the job.”
Megan Davey, 25, has cerebral palsy and joined the development programmes at The Prince's Trust, King Charles' charity committed to helping disadvantaged people. Before taking the opportunity with the charity, Megan began losing hope and didn’t think she would find a job that suited her needs. It was her mum that introduced her to The Prince’s Trust after seeing an advert and while Megan was unsure at first, she signed up for a digital skills programme in January 2021.
Megan said: “I have friends around me that got jobs and I wanted to be doing the same thing. Taking part in the programme gave me a reason to get up in the morning. I was back into a routine, I wasn't losing my mind like I was previously.” She then began an eight-week programme, four days a week, on personal development before taking the Level 2 programme too. It continued to help her acquire a routine, make new friends and kept her busy. The programme also included a work placement which enabled Megan to gain some experience at a family member’s garage business.
