"Hi, my name is Cheryl. I am 53 years old and work full time with Next. I worked for 17 years within a Complex Needs School in the Norwich area. I joined No Limits Norfolk just over a year ago and I haven't looked back. Wanting to keep within the proffession but on a different level. I love my time volunteering with the group, whether it is signing, dancing in our group space or in the wider community. Lauren has brought joy to many, and her group continues to grow and provide for many ages and abilities."

"I came into working with SEN quite late in life ( ..my alarm clock didn't go off), but it was always something close to my heart due to my SEN sister. I now have over 14 years experience working in SEN schools and met Lauren during a summer school in 2018. I knew what her passion and vision was. We stayed in touch and when No Limits launched I was so happy to volunteer and have been enjoying every minute of it. I am part of the Wednesday Inclusive Dance group and it is fantastic to see how the community has come together and to see these wonderful people excel. I am so proud to be a part of No Limits Norfolk. 

​

Oh.. and I also like football and to tell bad Dad jokes!"

"My name is Max, I work full time as an administrator but love working with children and individuals with SEN, so in my spare time I volunteer with the No Limits BSL Signing Choir. I love it as I had no experience in BSL, but I find it fascinating and I love to learn new things, assisting the participants in learning too. It is joyous and interesting everytime!"

"Hi, I'm Robyn. I studied Geology at university and through doing so I have a love for travelling. I have taught in schools of all levels and assist running a drama group for people of all ages too. I have been learning BSL since university and continue participating within the qualifications! Being a part of No Limits is one of the greatest experiences and I look forward to the classes every week. Seeing the members grow and improve is the absolute best part of volunteering." 

"Hi I am Karen, I have been supporting children with additional needs for the past 21 years. I work in a specialist resource base in a mainstream school. Lauren visits us once a week to teach an inclusive dance session, and I asked to volunteer one evening. I thoroughly enjoyed dancing with all the adults and children. As I enjoyed it so much, I now volunteer twice a week!" 

"Hi I'm Emma and have worked in education for the last 21 years. I have a passion for supporting children and adults with additional needs and SEND. When I heard about No Limits needing volunteers I thought this was a great opportunity. Who wouldn't want to dance and have fun whilst supporting other people?! No Limits has not only enabled me to support others but also develop my skills in supporting adults, as my career is working with children with SEND. Inclusive dance is one of the highlights of my week!" 

"Hi! I love being a part of No Limits Norfolk team, engaging with the lovely people who just want to have fun and share your energy, to make our lives the best it can be!"

"Hello I'm Molly and I am 21 years old. I am a support worker for elderly people with Dementia. I also volunteer with No Limits Norfolk on a Friday. I am so pleased to be part of something so cheerful and important for our community, that is accessible to all needs. It brings such a joy to everyone and myself! I love dancing too so it's a great opportunity for me!!"

"Hi I'm Laura and I work at The Hall School, which is a special needs school which supports children with additional needs. I love spending my time with my family and our favourite place to go is The Dinosaur Park, my son absolutely loves Dinosaurs! I am also a Foster Carer for a 5 year old girl, who has been living with us since 2022. In my spare time I enjoy watching television and doing crafts." 

"My name is Maddy, I am currently studying a degree in additional needs and disabilities, and also work supporting children and young people with SEN. I started volunteering with No Limits Norfolk September 2022 and I haven't looked back! I have attended Musical Theatre classes since I was 4 and stopped in High School. Growing up dancing helped me massively with my confidence and self esteem. I primarily support dance classes on a Thursday evening, but I do pop into the Signing Choir and the Wednesday dance too! No Limits Norfolk is the highlight of my week and is such a positive environment. It's such a beautiful community and I am honoured to be part of it."

"Hi, I'm Mandy. I am a Paramedic with 25 years working in the NHS. I was introduced to No Limits Norfolk when my daughter Robyn told me they were looking for volunteers. I went along on a Thursday and I loved it! I got so much joy from the members and now it is the hightlight of my week."

"Hi I'm Kelly! I am a Teaching Assistant in an SEN School. I love working there and have had so many great opportunities since working there. I volunteer with No Limits Norfolk on a Friday night. It is a great way to meet new people every week, and building lovely relationships with other volunteers and dancers. It's a great way to finish off the week!"

"I have 3 daughters with neurodiversity's, and from the age of 18, I have worked with disabilities of all ages and complexities. I absolutely love it and being part of the No Limits Norfolk community."  

"I moved to Norfolk 3 years ago from Oxfordshire. I love living in North Norfolk by the sea. Plenty of walks on the beach and ice cream. I enjoy crocheting, knitting and anything crafty! My favourite music is Motown and I am learning to play the Accordion!"

"Hi my name is Kirbs, I am 30 years old. I work in Sales and have always had a passion for people and dancing!! … AND Lauren has been my best friend for well over 15 years so when she mentioned I could volunteer I was over the moon to join the team having heard such great things. I do not have much experience in the field yet but starting with the team has been a privilege and a joy from the get go! I am learning so much and thoroughly enjoying watching the members enjoy themselves too!"

"Hi! I am an advocate adviser for a user-led charity in Norfolk. I met Lauren when she came to an advocacy group as a guest speaker to talk about No Limits and was blown away with how amazing the groups are!"
