Leanne's StoryHello everyone, my name's Leanne Walsh and I am 25 years old. I have just moved out of my mum and dad's house into a shared house in Ralph Street, Pontypridd. I moved into my new home last November and I really enjoy being independent.

I share my new home with two other ladies who I get along with, a cat called Crazy Daisy and of course my staff.

I have my own bedroom which is decorated green, all other rooms I share with my housemates, I get supported by Viva to go out in the community Monday to Thursday and I go to classes such as cookery, advocacy and yoga which I really enjoy! My hobbies are card-making, swimming and cooking.

I am currently looking for a job with the help of my support worker from Viva, as I want to become more independent in the future.
