Hi!

My name is Charlotte and I’m a Nutrition and Dietetics student at the University of Chester. I’m passionate about health and making nutrition accessible to all. Healthy doesn’t have to be boring, confusing or expensive.

At TLC we look after each other so we can look after others, thinking positively and making the best of a situation is what we’re all about.

Running is 80% mentality and 20% physical. It started miraculously.  For me anyway! A cold, February Sunday morning in 2015 I put my trainers on.

I think about this a lot when I’m running.  I also routinely think: why is it raining again? why am I doing this? Why am I so slow today? what if I fall over and break my foot and no-one can find me? can I breathe? Oh no I need the loo!

If you’ve ever been out of work you’ll know- it’s tough out there- and it’s getting tougher.  It can happen to any of us, but we’ll all remember that person who gave us a chance or a helping hand to get back on our feet.

Just a few short months ago, after a long period of mental health problems, a period of homelessness and issues with Alcohol, I was beginning to recover and settle into my new home in Liverpool.
