Life Of Your Own

2001 September - 2007 November

Created by Mum and Dad 15 years ago
As Moira reached 16 we became to realize that we were very unhappy with all of the post school offerings for Moira. We realized that the ONLY possibility for us to move to Tunbridge Wells and directly join LOYO there. There started the next era in Moira’s life. Cadogan was created and LOYO embraced the family. Here we met many people who took Moira to their hearts. It wasn’t just the staff – in fact the staff weren’t just staff – they were friends and members of our extended family. LOYO encouraged us to bring in FlatMates for Moira and to allow Moira to go out into the community where she met many beautiful people. LOYO delivered its promised community based education program. Geography was her garden; science was cooking; history and biology was visiting Henry the horse. Moira learnt like everyone else that things had to be done cleaning; shopping; cooking – things that could be done later and things we wanted to do. At all times LOYO made life fair, fun, made sense and of real value.
