Your role

About me
I am a 19-year-old young man who lives with my parents in Saxmundham.

I love sports, especially football, and I used to be a good player I like to follow football leagues, and playing FIFA on the PlayStation is one of my favourite hobbies.

I also like clothes, fashion, playing pool, going to the cinema, and taking long walks.

I have a mild learning difficulty and OCD, and so I need support to access activities in the community. I'm looking for a support worker who can give me guidance and reassurance when I need it. Someone who has an understanding of OCD and learning difficulties would be very helpful.
