THE EXTRAORDINARY STORY OF HAYLEA'S UNBEATABLE SPIRIT
Westminster City Council is a world of extraordinary stories. Where people use their optimism and talent to achieve more than anyone thought possible.
Nobody personifies this more than Haylea Navarro. Born with cerebral palsy and paralysed down one side since birth, Haylea has been gleefully proving people wrong ever since. Now a project officer, she brings faster broadband connectivity to Westminster businesses, boosting the economy for all. Throw in her gong at the 2020 London Apprenticeship Awards, and it's clear for all to see just what can happen when you never give in.
