About our client
Our client is a university student who is studying creative writing at Lincoln University.

As written by him…
“It’s important that you are willing to help me and accompany me to social events. I enjoy a wide variety of things including comedy nights, concerts, theatre trips, football games (playing powerchair football and watching games), spoken word events, board game nights etc. I am not a fan of nightclubs or parties and prefer my socialising to be more structured. I need someone who will respect my privacy because sometimes I will want to be alone or with friends.
I suffer from painful muscle spasms which I need help with by moving my legs to a more comfortable position. I am fully able to instruct what is needed and when for this issue”.
