“Let me tell you a bit about me...

“My name is Lee, I am 59 and in a wheelchair. My disability is cerebral palsy.

“I live in my own ground-floor flat in North Baddersley, Southampton. I have a live-in-carer and my own Motability car.

“I have been living there for 16 years now, whereas before I was in a care home. It has been the best thing that I have ever done. I have my own independence.

“I am a volunteer at Marwell Wildlife Park in Winchester, and I have been there for over 38 years now. My role is wheelchair access for the public and wheelchair users.”
