He loves music and has a vast knowledge of different artists and songs throughout the years.Joe gets support throughout the day and utilises this to carry out his love for drawing, watching quizzes (and trying to beat staff), cooking and telling staff jokes which he gets from his Alexa device.

He has a passion for fishing and enjoys doing this in the hotter months with staff or family members. He enjoys watching darts and snooker as well as scrolling through YouTube for "classic" darts matches to rewatch.
