I would like to get out and about in the community, so a driver is essential. My vehicle is a Volkswagen Caddy max, manual transmission. The places I would like to visit are Beamish, Metrocentre and I like Arcades so Whitley Bay would be a good place to go now and then. I enjoy visiting National Trust sites and eating out.

- I need support in the mornings, this would be at 7:15am - 8:30am x3 mornings. Monday, Wednesday and Friday at moment but may change in September depending on college. My taxi comes at about 8:17am but just in case of any delays I think it’s best to leave at 8:30am
