About Me.
I’m a 12-year-old boy who loves getting out and about.
My favourite things include walking on Dartmoor, visiting beaches, going to the aquarium, reading, socialising and having a laugh.
My mobility is limited, so I sometimes use a wheelchair.
I need reliable, friendly support to enjoy life to the full.

Provide constant 2:1 support and supervision at all times — I cannot be left alone.
Assist with personal care, including toileting and pad changes.
Support safe mobility using my wheelchair and close supervision when walking.
