Meet our Client:
My name is D and I am 15 years old. I’m currently in my last year of school and getting ready for my next adventure that’s quickly approaching! I love listening and singing along to music which is a huge part of who I am. And another part of my personality is that I like to keep fit and I try to do weights every day but sometimes I’m too busy or too tired after a long day at school! I also like learning as much history as possible because it’s one of my favourite subjects at school. I’m wanting to be able enjoy all of these hobbies with an extra helping hand and also being able to have a bit more independence will be a great thing for me as I am getting older and wanting to do things that isn’t what my family may want to do.
