Raheela

My name is Raheela Qureshi. Here is my Health for All journey. I came to this country in 2001, freshly married and very shy. After a few years and giving birth to my second child, I began to attend community groups run by Health for All. These helped me progress to become the person I am today. They provided me with mentors and the confidence to pursue qualifications, becoming a better person and carer. I work as a part-time carer, thoroughly enjoying it as the clients are brilliant to work with. The skills and confidence I gained led me to being Chair of Khushal Zindagi. Members enjoy learning new skills, healthy eating, socialising. Last year, I joined the HFA Enhance service as a support worker for the elderly, progressing from voluntary work with Health for All for more than 10 years on a number of different projects. I have consistently told my children about the importance of the charity especially since they grew up attending Health for All events! The help Health for All have given me over the last decade has been life changing for me and my family. Here’s to many, many more!”
