Your role will involve supporting me within the local community and suggesting places to go as I like going out and perhaps just stop for a coffee or a bite to eat. I try to remain as active as possible and I also use a manual wheelchair at times as I do get very tired, but I am needing more regular now, so potential PA will need to be able to push my wheelchair.
