Trish’s Story. From No Confidence to Self-Belief
When Trish first came to Wirral Mencap, she found it hard to make eye contact, she struggled with low confidence and often felt unsure of herself.
Four years later, everything has changed.
Thanks to the support of our staff, the friendships she has made and the courses and activities she has taken part in including Gateway, Trish now feels confident, happy and hopeful about the future.
“Before coming to Wirral Mencap, I had no confidence. I could not look people in the eye. Now, I feel good about myself. I believe in myself.”
She has made new friends, feels comfortable speaking to others and has rediscovered her self-worth, all by being part of a safe, supportive and inclusive environment.
Trish went on to win our Photographer of the Year 2025 award, after taking part in the Photography course.
