Richard

Richard worked without support every Monday morning at the local pub. He helped with the cleaning in the bar area and the restaurant. When the weather was nice he helped keep the car park tidy. He really enjoyed his placement and was a great help until the pub changed hands, he is hoping to find another placement in the future.
