Rose Tilbury

Rose Tilbury is a teacher with a strong commitment to inclusion, particularly in education. She met Rhiannon and Emma through a mutual friend while she was studying.

An opportunity arose for Rose to become Emma’s flatmate, which she saw as a natural fit. Living together strengthened their friendship, and they have remained close ever since. Emma is now a much-loved friend of Rose’s wider family.

  • More than flatmates: Creating a good life through independence, relationships, and change

    In this conversation, Emma, Rhiannon and Rose will share their experience of living together as flatmates: What worked, what they learned, and how their relationships evolved over time.

    They will explore how to support someone to move towards independence away from the family home, even when that vision may not initially be their own, and the practical steps involved in building a life that leads to living independently. The session will also reflect on the importance of recognising when it is time to move on, and how change can open the door to new friendships and connections.

    Emma will share what living in her own home means to her, and the things that make her life a good one.
