My name is Paul Berry and I am a community learning facilitator at No Limits in Chesterfield. For the past 5 months, one of our students, Daniel has had quite a bit of upheaval at home while also turning 18 years of age. Daniel has recently moved into residential accommodation in Nottinghamshire and is living away from his parents for the first time. Daniel does not always find it easy to communicate verbally and is rather shy. Prior to leaving home, it was very difficult to keep Daniel away from his home for more than a couple of hours as he became anxious. So upon meeting Daniel for the first time since his move, I felt somewhat nervous about how he would respond to us.

I've always fancied using a leaf blower myself! Great story, so wonderful to hear about Daniel's brilliant progress.

Thanks for sharing this Paul and I'm glad that Daniel is getting on so well, although I'm not surprised as you can't help but get swept up in the enthusiasm with Grass Routes.

Visited Grass routes and found it amazing so glad Daniel is enjoying this and that you helped him find something that captivates him and gives him pleasure

Great story Daniel and Paul. Love to have a go of a leaf blower myself and the lawn mower.
