Debbie Vliers

Debbie currently works in the kitchen at Rye Discovery Centre. "Because of being disabled...there wasn't really anything for disabled people (back then). I hadn't got any confidence. I just plodded...with more disabled people about (now) and a different environment...(she implies that things might have been different.)" But "I've worked all my life apart from a few operations and Covid."

Morgan

Morgan currently runs the Rye Harbour poetry group and the Lost Words Project at Rye Discovery Centre. “I think I’ve had a very charmed life…I’ve had a lot of luck …I haven’t had to look for work, people have offered me work…I don’t think I’ve had difficulties…maybe in meetings as a woman one of the things I have found challenging …is that you can be in a room full of men, you’ll say something and none one reacts to it then one of the men will say exactly the same thing and everybody says what a good idea…that used to drive me crazy…and the other thing being expected to make tea for people in a meeting where they were all men or they’d say, is someone going to take notes looking at me…”
