Since 2018, she has tried a variety of activities including bell-ringing, dry-stone walling, cliff camping, wheelchair basketball and stand-up comedy.

Millington said that the idea started when she was given a voucher to try climbing and she enjoyed it so much that it inspired her to take on more new challenges.

She said, "I thought, I want more of this in my life. So, in 2018 I decided to do 52 things - no matter what they are, it's got to be new to me - and have a go.”

"I love finding out about other people, challenging myself, doing things I've not done before. There's so much going on,” Millington added.
