I’m Blake: a young man with a cheeky sense of humour. I spend time volunteering, exploring the world on walks or drives in the car, and chilling-out at home. I am a Christian with strong links to a local church.

I happen to have an intellectual impairment and am non-verbal. I need support in day-to-day living, in my interaction with others, and in participating as a valued member of wider community groups.

My support team is working to empower me to reach my goal of living independently like other men in their twenties. I am looking for a therapy coordinator to join my team. This person will help my team to build upon my achievements and develop new ones.

Your passion can support my ongoing development.
