What three words would your family and friends use to describe you?

“Loves meeting people.”

I love talking to people about the things that I have done. I recently made a friend called Lily at the gym, and this year we bought each other biscuits as Christmas presents.

What do you like about Surrey Choices?

I like being with my friends, that is really important to me. I love it now that I am out in the community as I meet lots of new people. I like the people at the Spire Café where I have lunch and also at the leisure centre

Last year you won a Celebrating Success Award for Health and Wellbeing. What was it like to attend the award ceremony?

I went with my brother and he was very proud of me as I had won my award, and I could tell him all about the good things I have done, like raising money for charity.

What is something you are looking forward to over the next few months?

I am doing a sponsored X Trainer at the gym for Action for Carers. It makes me feel that I am helping people who need help.

What would you say to someone who is thinking of nominating their friend for an Award?

I have recently started bartending and doing lots of shifts at my local theatre, working behind the bar. I enjoy it but it is very busy at the moment with panto season in full swing!

What is something you are looking forward to over the next few months?

I liked listening to what people had said about me, it made me feel good, and it would make other people feel good to hear good things about them. I liked also nominating someone else I knew what I wanted to say about them and it makes you feel good saying good things about them.
