A day in the life...Malcolm

22/06/2023

 

As part of Learning Disability Week for 2023, we're sharing stories from members of our Calderdale Self Advocacy Network (in their own words) of their experiences living with a learning disability. 

 

Below, Malcolms gives us a glimpse into a day in his life...

 

"This is a day when I go to my day centre. I get up, have my breakfast, get on the access bus, then we have a drink when we get there.
 
At the minute we are doing a play so we go through the script and learn our lines. I find this part hard because I don’t have anyone I can practice with at home (Malcolm lives in Supported Living).
 
I do enjoy learning the lines though and I’m looking forward to the play!
 
In the afternoon we play bingo.
 
I enjoy this and I even sometimes win! I then go home where I have tea. The staff makes me tea: my favourite meal is a chicken dinner!
 
I don’t see my learning disability as a barrier. This is something I have always lived by."
