"Hello, I am a 64 year old man who lives in Canton. I live in a shared house with 2 other people. I am looking for a support worker who can encourage me to do more - both in my home and out in my local community. I really love Cardiff FC and I go to all their home games. I enjoy doing things in Canton - like going for a pub lunch, playing pool, going to the cinema and meeting up with my family and friends.
