Hello, my name is M and I live in the Annandale project.

I love listening to a lot of music and love to dance; I am young at heart and love nothing more than having a laugh and joke with staff. I enjoy going out to the local shops and buying my favourite chocolate bars and cans of juice. I like watching movies on TV.

Are you ready to make a real difference to M and the other people we support at Southside older people’s services?
