“The most fun part is playing matches because you can win.  I like winning.”

I work at the RUH.  It will be 6 years in September.  It’s really good.  I enjoy my job.  I clean the beds.  I like it when it’s all done.  I get the beds ready for patients.  The people are friendly. I usually work on my own and I like that. I work Monday to Friday and I get the bus.

I play for Keynsham Mencap.  We train on a Tuesday evening, and I really enjoy it.  We play football tournaments sometimes each month. We play in a league.  Mixed Ability Counts League. We play matches.

We had a match, but we didn’t have enough players to go, so we couldn’t play. The club is looking for more players.  We have a 17 year old on the team. I love football.  It’s my hobby.

I do Fitness Club on a Monday.  We do different stuff.  At the moment, we are doing circuits. In the circuits there are benches and mats. I’m quite an active person. I used to play for Butterflies at Keynsham Football Club.

I go to Club 25 on a Thursday. I used to do Go Explore, but I’m too old for that now. I go every week.  I like going out to places.  I like the desert place in Longwell Green, Kaspa’s. I like the waffles! I know a few friends at Club 25.  I knew some of them before, from Go Explore, but I have made more since I started. I like bowling too. I go to the discos at Komedia too: Uproar.

I like walking my dog.  She’s a rescue, so we are not sure what she is, but I think she has got a terrier in her. My mum comes too.  I live with my mum and my brother.

I am going on the Mencap holiday to Cornwall in the summer. My friends are going too. 

I was at the Space last Thursday with Club 25.  We watched Pirates of Penzance, which was really good. I go to Bristol Hippodrome sometimes. We saw Wicked and other musicals.

I’ve got football later.  Sometimes I walk and sometimes my mum takes me.  I don’t have a favourite position.  I’m normally a defender.  They want me to do that because I am quite good at defence. The most fun part is playing matches because you can win.  I like winning.

I support Man United because my family are big fans.  I watch the football on Saturdays. Marcus Rashford is my favourite player.  I like Mason Mount who used to play for Chelsea too. I love football.
