Client Example: L

Let us introduce L.

Hi, my name is L and I am currently being supported by the A.S.I.S.T Service to apply for and find my forever home. I am a care experienced young person who currently lives in temporary accommodation while studying at college. I have suffered trauma, which can affect my ability to trust people. I enjoy football, reading, and learning new languages. Together we can make the moment even more enjoyable.

When it comes to supporting me, I require someone who can help with my daily tasks if needed, apply for housing and support me to set up my new forever home, and I may also need help with claiming benefits, applying for work, further education, and finding places to go where I can meet new people in my community, especially if I move to a new area. It is important to me that you have good values, patience, and can show empathy. That is why L needs you! Will you bring your best so that I can live my best life?
