John* – You’ll be supporting John, a vibrant individual with complex needs who is moving into a specially adapted home. John lives in a single‑occupancy home that has been adapted to meet his complex needs.

He loves going out every Friday for KFC, also trips to cafés and going on drives. His dad is a big part of his life, so family involvement is key and often has family visiting him. When he is not out and about enjoying himself, he usually likes to be at home listening to music (especially classical), Disney films, colouring, and outdoor fun like trampolining and swings in the garden.

Routine is very important to James.
