David

"You do it because you care for that person, you've got to be strong, physically and emotionally fit"

David has been a full time carer for his wife since 2011 when he gave up his job. About 20 years ago David's wife had an operation on her neck and now uses a wheel chair part time.

At the moment David's wife is still able to do a lot for herself but they still find it difficult to go out and about because of the lack of accessible places.

David manages to go to an art class through Active Plus every fortnight where they sit chat and draw for a couple of hours. Alongside this, when he can David goes to the Helston carers group every month and walks their dog around the university campus everyday.
