I am a 25-year-old male with complex care needs and a smile to melt your heart. No two days are the same as my day changes pace to suit my requirements.

On my better days I likes to spend time in my beautiful, adapted garden. Help me to make my sensory garden bloom; potting bulbs and flowers or enable me to take time out to relax on my trampoline or lounge in my hammock.

I love the great outdoors; whether that be local walk or a trip to the park. I especially enjoy listening to the sounds of the tree's and have a love of birds and ducks. I enjoy a visit to the local ponds to feed them.

Hydrotherapy sessions are a great chance for you to support me with my physiotherapy, be prepared for a soaking as I love to create a splash!

Quiet moments of relaxation and calm are also important, I enjoy listening to stories, some TV time and sharing cuddles in my den.

I also love to spend weekends and short breaks with my support team at my holiday home in Bridlington.
