June has a learning disability and lives with her parents and brother at home. She has attended several college courses and obtained certificates in dance and drama, food hygiene and general studies. June enjoys shopping and keeping up to date with fashion. Her hobbies are walking and music, she also enjoys bowling and bingo.
June had this to say: “I like to help around the home and go shopping with my mum who needs a wheelchair to get out and about. I am my mum’s main carer and help her to stay at home. I enjoy visiting different places, going to the S.O.D.A club and meeting new friends. I also like caring for my cats, goldfish and my budgie”.
“The staff who support me are great and have a good sense of humour which I love! I have given them all nicknames which I find funny. They have helped me to get on college courses and recently arranged a “reading buddy” to help me with my reading and writing. I have also started doing some voluntary work at Flexicare once a week to gain work experience. The staff have also helped me with health action training. I feel a lot more confident and I am happy”.
“In the future I want keep improving my reading and writing, I would like to do more voluntary work and I eventually want to live independently in my own home.
