The St. Patrick’s past pupil was one of five inspirational young people chosen to take part in the Surprise Squad. She has been travelling across the UK for the past two weeks, taking part in challenges to raise money for Children in Need.

One of the projects that Children in Need have been helping to organise is a community fundraising event to completely renovate the music room for the Foyle Down Syndrome Trust.

Roisin suffered a stroke at the age of just 14 which caused life changing disabilities but has been on the road of recovery, and is now doing her best to her best to help others in need.

Principal at St.Patrick’s, Eamonn Devlin said: “We are so proud of our former pupil Roisin for all of her achievements as part of the Surprise Squad on The One Show.

“Roisin is a real inspiration to all of us in demonstrating how to overcome disabilities to make a real inspiration to all of us in lives of others.”

"We wish Roisin every success for the future.”
