Hello!
My name is Megan Phillips. I am currently 19 years old, almost 20, and about to commence the second year of University studying Psychology.
For a while now, I have felt the need to help people, and the jobs that I have done so far in my life have not satisfied this urge: I almost feel as if I need to do more. Having myself a mental disability, and knowing others and helping others who have disabilities themselves, I feel as if I am able to somehow relate to those around me who struggle with their lives, and sympathise with them. Following on from the first year of my degree, I knew in my heart that setting up a company that gives help to those in need was the path I wanted to take.
Therefore, starting from the 10th of June 2014, I founded "Brightest Eyes". Currently it is only a forum that gives those with physical and mental disabilities a place to shout and laugh with others that can relate to how they feel. There is also a section for those who care for them, so that they too can have a shout and a laugh with those who know how they are feeling.
Hopefully, after my studies, I wish to develop this company further. In the future I see Brightest Eyes giving those with disabilities outings and camping adventures every other month, giving those caring for them a break. I also see mini-adventures for those with the Brightest Eyes every week, be it bowling, cycling, swimming, or even just simply sitting in a coffee shop and having a good old talk.
Feel free to leave any comments, advice, or well wishes on these boards. As said before, some content is kept private only for members, as this will give those who want to tell their story a sense of confidence. This forum is well monitored by me also. As I am only 19, I will always listen to advice given and act upon that.
Thankyou very much for reading, I hope you enjoy your stay here at Brightest Eyes!
