51��������

Before joining the 51�������� Franciska was struggling with mental health issues and trying to juggle working supermarket hours with caring for her young daughter. 

The Hungarian 34-year-old was suffering with depression, anxiety and panic attacks.  

“It was a struggle at the supermarket with the long shifts, especially if my daughter was ill. My partner’s a painter and decorator and works long hours, and I only had my mum to help me with my daughter.” 

“I had huge mental health problems, but the 51�������� tutors really helped me.” 

Franciska enrolled on teaching assistant and mental health awareness courses and now, thanks to the 51��������, has turned her life around with the start of a fresh career. 

She’s now moving towards working in schools, with more flexibility for caring for her daughter, and has just applied for a job at her daughter’s school. 

“The 51�������� has given me confidence and I’ve just applied for a job in my daughter’s school! A local nursery has also asked me to apply for an apprenticeship with them. 

“I’ve been told I could even be a teacher,  so I might try that too!”
