I’m described by the people who know me best as ‘a real character’, funny, cheeky and determined. I’m a sociable, young man with a great sense of humour, but can get very anxious when trying new things or going to new places, it can take me a little while to get used to new people. When I get anxious, I don’t always react in the right way, but when I’m put at ease, I can be very good company.

I would also like support for two days a week to access community facilities or to experience social and leisure activities, engage in therapy, and to further develop my life skills. I like to be active and busy, and love playing games, especially bingo, singing Karaoke and anything food related. I enjoy being outdoors and would like to try bowling, eating out and other similar things. Although I need a lot of support, I love being as independent as possible and I enjoy helping with domestic and household tasks.
