Join me, Kate Eldon, as I share my life journey, the invaluable support I receive, and my passions. From my loving family and dear friends to my home at Crossways Court, I explore how personalized budgets empower me. I enjoy watching sports, visiting Bristol Zoo, and reading about history. As Chairperson of South Glos Links, I advocate for others and guide those seeking new homes. Music and walks help me find calm. Remember, listening to individuals is vital. I also cherish the memories of my budgie, Sammy, and my new companion, Cyril.
