About the Employer


I am a young lady who would like support in accessing a group that provide activities for people with autism.

I am a diabetic so I would need you to support me with my care with that too.

I like to cook, and it would be nice if you could support me along with a family member so that I can access a swimming activity.

It would be useful if you can pick me up and take me to the group so that my mum gets a bit of time with the rest of the family.
