Ruth

"It's lonely because when it's 2 O' Clock in the morning and everything's just gone horribly wrong, the person you wanted to be there to support you through it is the person you're looking after"

Ruth cares for her husband who suffers with epilepsy and has been in a caring role for the last 40 years.

After managing to get a sitter for one afternoon a week Ruth was able to start her Cornish Language lessons again. This gave Ruth a life line and started to give her back her social life, which she had completely lost.

Ruth has now completed her Cornish Language Level 4 exam and now teaches others how to speak cornish and prepares them for their exams.
