Living life to the fullest: Arthur’s story

A fresh start

Things were not always easy for Arthur. When he first received support in 2016, he was living in an area where he felt unsafe. He was isolated and was unfortunately being taken advantage of by people he thought were friends. He also struggled to manage his flat and his finances.

Working closely with social services, Arthur was supported to move to a safer area closer to Bury. This move laid the foundation for the life he lives today.

Support that fits his lifestyle

Arthur has been part of our community for many years. He values the relationships he has built with his dedicated support team.

Through our domiciliary care service, Arthur receives help with everyday tasks like cooking and cleaning. This gives him the freedom to focus on what he enjoys most. Whether it is heading to the pub for a pint or taking trips to visit family in Blackpool, Arthur’s team is here to make it happen.

Embracing hobbies and building skills

Support for Arthur ensures he can embrace the things that bring him joy. He is a massive sports fan who loves playing FIFA and cheering on Manchester United. He also enjoys a game of darts or pool at the pub.

Arthur is also learning sign language to help with his speech impairment. His support team encourages him to slow down to communicate clearly. These everyday interactions have boosted his confidence significantly.

Arthur at his best

Arthur’s love for sport keeps him active. He plays five-a-side football with friends in Heywood. He is currently planning new adventures, such as going on a bike ride, as he loves trying new things.

His playful side is just as strong. Arthur loves keeping his support team on their toes with jokes and pranks. This is a testament to the close friendships he has formed.

Behind the laughter is a thoughtful nature. Arthur enjoys picking out gifts for his family. He always takes the time to choose something meaningful for the people who mean the world to him.

For Arthur, this support means having the safety and freedom to enjoy everyday life. It is about assistance with daily tasks. It is also about encouragement to stay active and independent.
