“Hi, I am Simon, and I am 66 years old. I am a caring and compassionate person that can make anyone laugh. People would say they enjoy my sense of humour and the pranks I pull!

I have a close family connection with my siblings and my extended family. I have regular family visits which are planned ahead of time, and I can look forward to these each week – I like my routine and need structure in my daily life.

I love to socialise and get out in my community – People who know me say I am kind-hearted, funny, sociable, and have great sense of humour with an infectious laugh and a great smile.

I enjoy listening to music, I have loads of CDs and a juke box that I love! I also enjoy watching television my favourite shows are on BBC 1, such as Eastenders and Football.

I am currently supported 24/7, my team support me with all aspects of daily living. I like to be as independent as I can be, therefore my staff will prompt and remind me what I need to do, but I need supervision to ensure that I complete tasks safely.”
