Fancy a bike ride?
This young man with mild cerebral palsy is keen to use the mountain bike he was given for his 17th birthday a few years ago.
He wants someone to accompany him for short bike rides off road, through the local woods. He is not able to go very far but he would enjoy cycling with another person for limited periods.
He is very keen on football and enjoys both watching and playing social football.
