Meet

John and Josephine


Let us introduce you to two of the amazing individuals you might support:

John

is 40 and lives in his own flat in a shared house in Wrexham. He's curious and full of energy, with a love for history and places like Erddig, Chirk Castle, and Blists Hill. John swims weekly, enjoys keeping his flat tidy, and loves discovering new places. He also works on Fridays and would like a Support Worker who can accompany him and cheer him on.

Josephine

is full of character and enjoys the slower things in life. She loves crafts, gardening, people-watching from a sunny bench, and going for a coffee at her favourite local spots. YouTube is her go-to for laughs and inspiration, and she's known for her great sense of humour and quick wit. Due to mobility challenges, she prefers outings at a gentler pace someone who's patient and happy to go with the flow would be a perfect match.

Both John and Josephine have mobility cars , so a UK manual driving licence is a must.
