Nottingham's hidden disabilities

Interviews by Tom Whalley
People with learning disabilities, explain what life is like living and learning in Nottingham.

My name is Valerie Jean Smith and I am 47 years old.

I live in Arnold, Nottingham.

I live in a Mencap home with about six people.

I go for a cup of tea and a cake in a café. And I like shopping and I pay my rent at HSBC Bank in Arnold.

I go to Mencap – College on a Monday and Friday to do a Basic Skills Class. On Thursday and Friday I go to Art Class.

Since coming to Basic Skills, I have got better at counting money and I have made new friends, I have got better at trying new activities.
