I’m happy when I’m feeling well; when I’m around people and I do activities I love. I have various interests such as music, singing, dancing, trains, baking, and much more. I enjoy going out for meals and spending time with my family and staff. I’ve got a cracking sense of humor which I like to share with people. My mum manages my care package and is a great source of support to all staff that work with me. I have 2:1 support, due to my health needs, which means support from another person is always available.
