I’m a 21-year-old young man with cerebral palsy and Epilepsy. I have my own adapted property in Pontardulais where I live with my family. I am a wheelchair user and hoisted for all transfers. I enjoy the company of others and people say I have a cheeky grin! I need waking support at night. You will need to ensure my oxygen machine is working correctly throughout the night.

I like spending time in my garden, using my hydro pool and going to the ski centre in Pembrey. I have a season ticket for my favourite team, Swansea. I have not been to watch them for a while, but I would like to do this with your support. I have enjoyed many holidays in the past and I would like to plan some further short breaks away.

I have complex physical difficulties. I’m unable to communicate verbally but have developed ways of getting my needs met. I would like my support workers to be warm, patient and reliable, to encourage and support me to access all opportunities and help me to maximise my quality of life. You will play a key part in helping ensure my care needs are met whilst helping to develop my day-to-day activities.
