Due to my vision impairment I can be prone to accidents, trips and falls when out and about and in unfamiliar places. I am seeking a PA to assist me with managing correspondence and filling in forms, assisting me to go food shopping and to attend social activities such as going to football matches on occasion at Sunderland. Occasional support with things around the home such as DIY, where I may struggle and gardening.
