I am described by the people who know me best as ‘loving, happy, determined, cheeky and caring’, I’m sociable and friendly with a great sense of humour. I need a little help with personal care but in the main I would like support to help me after school so I can enjoy social and leisure activities, engage in therapy and further develop my life skills for the future. I like to be active and busy, enjoying cycling, swimming and skiing as well as gaming.
