Jordan & Roxanne

Jordan and Roxanne have been dating for a while now. Jordan is a Service Quality Director with Thera (Scotland). Prior to that he was a Consultant for Values Into Action Scotland and he and Roxanne met at The Life I Want. This is coordinated by VIAS and is the first person led Public Social Partnership in Scotland. Roxanne is part of the relationships work stream. The group look at important topics about relationships for people with learning disabilities or autism. Their eyes met across the meeting room and the rest, as they say, is history! Their first date was a trip to Largs. They like to eat out but more often they go to the cinema. Roxanne usually decides which film they will see so it is fair to say that Jordan has seen more than his share of romantic comedies!! Jordan and Roxanne have already holidayed in Spain and are planning future trips abroad together. We are delighted to say that the happy couple got engaged on 1 January 2022 when Jordan popped the question and Roxanne said yes.

Jonathan

Jonathan moved into his own flat in February 2017. Before that he shared a house and support with another man but they didn’t have very much in common. Jonathan’s family spent a long time finding the right house in the right area for Jonathan and even longer finding the right support team for him. Jonathan lives in a quiet cul de sac in a leafy part of East Renfrewshire. He loves music, socialising and taking trips out in the car in his local community and beyond. He has been going to various groups and events in his local area since moving there and is starting to build up a good network of friends. Jonathan doesn’t use verbal communication but he tells us what he likes and doesn’t in other ways. The first time he went to view his house, his family knew that it was the place for him and the day he moved in you’d have thought he had lived there for twenty years. We are still at the beginning of this new and exciting chapter in Jonathan’s life but everything is certainly moving in the right direction for him.

Cameron

Cameron works for Wellheads Electrical Supplies in Aberdeen as a warehouse assistant. This involves moving stock and helping to dispatch the items on the computer systems. He started working in January 2022 with the help of Project SEARCH and the University of Aberdeen. He completed 3 internships with them and achieved many great things along the way such as getting a forklift license. He has been really enjoying his work and looks forward to what the future has in store for him.

“Doing several different internships, getting a wide variety of jobs I like to do, and experiencing them really helped me decide what I’d like to do in the future.”
