A LITTLE ABOUT MYSELF

I am a 28 year old female living in the Porth area. I have multiple Physical and mental health conditions which I was diagnosed with in the past few years. I have some limited mobility, which means I usually use a walking stick when I go out, if long days out or a long distance i resort to using a wheelchair but may only need it to lean on. My conditions cause me to have general anxiety when going out (Especially for medical appointments) and widespread pain. I sometimes need to wear compression socks for my lymphedema and will need help putting the socks on as I cannot do this myself. I enjoy watching films and TV and relaxing at home, but also enjoy gaming and crafting and I would like to get out in the community more.

I have a 9-month-old daughter which I will need support with when we are out in the community.

I have 3 house cats that I may need some help with to change the litter trays from time to time when my partner is not home.
