My Story – Holly

Holly
The Duke of Edinburgh's Award

Hi There

I am Holly and I have lived with my friends Lindsey and Amanda in Supported Living for a few years now.  I don’t go to a day centre but I enjoy going out with my support workers and I have a part time job at a Community café which I love.  I take orders from people and I love chatting to our customers.

I have also been doing my Duke of Edinburgh award for a while and I passed this year and will soon be getting my award and I am excited about that.

I have been a member at Doncaster Mencap since I went into Supported Living and now, I am also a volunteer at our Gateway club and a Gateway rep on the Mencap committee.

I like being a volunteer and meeting up with other volunteers and members and having a joke with them. I like to help everyone whenever I can.

Like Jordan I love dancing and joining in with all the activities.

I ask members what they would like to do at our Gateway club and at the committee meetings I help to decide on trips out and suggest new things for us to do.
