Introduction
I am a 35 year old man with learning differences. I love art and craft work, music, dance, theatre and singing. I love praise and friendly chat. I love jokes / humour. I enjoy swimming, going for walks and I keep fit at the gym. I also spend time at home enjoying my flat. Sometimes you will join me with an activity at my flat e.g. playing a game, at other times I may occupy myself, watch TV while you do admin or chores.
You will help me access my regular clubs and activities, cook meals, organise and clean my flat and ensure I live a safe, happy and fulfilling life.
