The Best in You Brings Out the Best in Me
The people we support have many varied interests and hobbies and have many of the same dreams and aspirations as we do; they just too often do not get the opportunity to experience these same opportunities.

Help transform lives like Ts.
Hello, I am T and I am supported by the GHSS service.
I live in my own house and staff support me to have a great life. I love having my own house and staff support me to pay bills, plan my shopping and make my meals, and tidy up. I am supported to plan budget my money which means I can do all the things I love. I love films and staff have helped me decorate my house to show off all my film memorabilia. I like to get out and about and I will give staff lots of good ideas of places I want to visit they will then plan this with me and support me on these trips. I recently went to London to see the Abba Voyages and It was great I had such a laugh. Staff also helped me plan for a trip to Disney where I got to stay in the Marvel hotel it was great seeing the super heroes.
If you think you have what it takes to support me and others in the service then get in touch?
