Lisa cared for her parents when they began suffering from health issues.
Her father was a proud lifelong engineer, and president of the Leeds Engineering Association. We were able to support the family with mobility equipment.

Looking for a place to talk about work, life, or whatever's on your mind?
Today, we're launching the pilot of an online peer support programme.
We know that feeling connected to others is vital for our mental health. Yet many engineers tell us they feel isolated, whether that’s due to long working hours or adjusting to life changes such as bereavement or retirement.
Our new peer support programme hopes to help change that by offering a safe, welcoming space where people can talk openly and feel understood by others with shared experiences of engineering.
Peer support group meetings will be:
- Free
- Confidential
- Facilitated by trained Foothold volunteers
- Every 1-2 months, initially online
Interested in taking part? We'd love you to join us! Visit https://tinyurl.com/4hebck8c to learn more and register your interest.
