Stories

Sometimes the people we support agree to let us share their story, to help people understand how important support is. Having the ability to make choices and decisions is something many of us take for granted, yet for people with learning disabilities, Autism and other assessed needs in a hospital or similar environment, their choices may be incredibly limited. Simple things like choosing when to make a drink, being able to have a pet or taking up a hobby for the first time can change a life.

Affinity Trust provides support workers for people with learning disabilities, Autism and other complex needs, supporting them to live their life their way.
