As written by our client ..
I am a full-time wheelchair user. I sometimes require help some days more than others as my body tone can fluctuate as per my condition which can affect my fine motor skills. I therefore require a Personal Assistant who is patient and can listen to my needs when I communicate the level of help, I require day to day. I have excellent hearing which means that some noises can cause me pain. I will actively communicate to you when this becomes a problem and what you can do to best support me. I use a word chart to communicate.
I enjoy days out. I much prefer to be out and about than in the house all day. I have an excellent close circle of friends who I meet up with regularly for meals and trips out. I particularly enjoy going to the Bingo, Cinema, concerts and Bowling and of course a good shopping trip from time to time.
I also have a keen interest in sport. I have previously played Boccia for Wales and Great Britain and like to still play on occasion. I am also a massive fan of Tennis, and I look forward to Wimbledon every year when it comes on the television. I have also previously attended University.
I am very close with my family and like to spend lots of time with them both at home and on days out.
