Jemma Debenham

Peer Educator

About Me
My name is Jemma. I have ADHD, cerebral palsy, and a learning disability. I love gaming on my PS5 and Nintendo Switch. I enjoy spending time with my friends, family, and the people I live with. I have two reborn dolls that help me with my mental health, and I also love my cat.

About My Work
Working as a Peer Educator at Ace has really boosted my confidence. Through my job, I’ve made new friends and developed new skills. I deliver Annual Health Check workshops to people with a learning disability, and I’m also part of the Easy Read checking team, helping to make information more accessible.

I also deliver Oliver McGowan Tier 1 and Tier 2 training. Oliver’s story means a lot to me, and I’m proud to train professionals – I feel like I’m helping to make a real difference.

What People Say About Me
