About Me
I'm an 11 year old boy and I live in Hereford with my parents and 2 siblings. I have a mild learning disability and struggle in social situations. I really enjoy playing with other children my age and just need some guidance with my behaviour. I love sport, sensory activities and have been told I am great fun to be around.

About Direct Payments
