Let us introduceyou toCharles:
Charles lives in his family home with his mother in Linwood, Paisley.
While Charles's mother goes to work he enjoys getting support out into the community with his personal assistant.
Charles is independent but still requires specific support to help him with things we take for granted.Charles requires a bespoke staff member to support him with his complex needs.
Charles gets around locally with the use of his powered wheelchair. Charles also requires a driver, as he has his own adapted vehicle for days of adverse weather or journeys where he wants to go further afield, like his favourite club on a Tuesday night, in Glasgow.
Charles loves a bit of banter with his support. He has interests in football and loves to try his luck with a wee bet at the local bookies. He also loves to go a run to scenic areas and maybe pick up some lunch from McDonalds or his other favourites.
The support has a large focus on companionship, with Charles looking for someone to share his days with.
