“I feel part of the community”
Kevin is one of our politically active clients in our Learning Disability Support services. In this interview, he shares why his interests are important to him.
Can you describe your quality of life? Do you enjoy your life here?
My quality of life is great and I enjoy living in my flat.
What are your favourite activities to do?
I like volunteering with the Labour party and attending events run by them. I like bingo, bowling and going to church. I enjoy the beach and train trips to London.
Why do you like doing them?
It makes me feel happy.
Why are they important to you?
Because I feel part of the community. I’m passionate about fairness, human rights and equality.
What are you most proud of?
In 2019 I was asked to write a speech about disability rights and my Support Worker and I read it out at the Labour Party convention.
