I am 26 years old. I am definitely a creative, practical person who enjoys a range of art and craft activities including drawing and painting. I make good use of my surrounding countryside and can often be found walking my dog with my sketch book in hand!

Ideally I am looking for someone who is understanding of neurodivergent people and will offer me support with my ongoing mental health issues but ultimately offer me friendship and companionship. Having someone who can help me to build up confidence when I’m out and about in the community, help me explore different opportunities, help me to meet my personal targets or just going out for a coffee in Marlborough would be an amazing help.
