Barbara Austin - 30 Years With CSV

In 1976, Barbara was involved in a road traffic accident which left her paralysed from the neck down. With the help of CSV volunteers, Barbara has lived independently ever since.

She says:

“Following my accident I was left paralysed. Having lost the use of most of my body and my husband, I was facing losing my children, my independence and entering residential care.

CSV Volunteers have supported me for over 30 years. I have brought up my boys, got a degree and started my own counselling business. CSV volunteers gave me my independence to live the life I chose.”
