Student Stories - Thomas

Treloar’s is a School and a College based in Hampshire providing education for extraordinary, full-of-potential disabled young people and adults. Every young person deserves an education which sets them up for life, but sadly, face many challenges in receiving that education. At Treloar’s, we look beyond the disability to help our students fulfil their potential.

We set out to create three short films, each with an aim of creating an opportunity for young disabled people to present themselves as individuals, encompassing their identity as a disabled person, but also showing that they are so much more than their disability. We wanted to give Thomas the chance to tell his own story.

Thomas was diagnosed with Muscular Dystrophy at a young age, making school very difficult for him. Since starting at Treloar College, he is happier, has made friends, and is able to access his education. This has been life-changing for Thomas and his family.

Our amazing fundraisers make a real difference to the lives of the young people here at Treloar’s. You can help in many ways: run a marathon, hold a cake sale, climb a mountain or play TRELOTTERY, the possibilities are endless!
