I also love dogs and animals, watching films and TV, listening to music, technology and travelling. I am always interested in trying new things and having new experiences.

I am looking for someone who is friendly, patient, respectful, trustworthy and has a positive attitude. Someone who can support me to be more independent, enjoy my hobbies and get out into the community would be fantastic.

If you are a caring person who enjoys helping others and would like to make a positive difference while sharing some fun experiences along the way, I would love to hear from you.
