Brian, 25, quickly made his mark when he started at Parity two years ago. He has an extremely cheeky personality and a zest for life.

One of Brian’s goals for 2017 is to get about independently using his power wheelchair. He’s supported by keyworker Clare in all his activities.

Brian has a passion for football and supports Man U. Being half Italian, he divides his World Cup support between England and Italy and follows each team's fate.

He's known for his great sense of humour and for pulling practical jokes. Brian loves to cook, creating authentic pizzas and gut-busting cakes.

Brian doesn't use speech but he’s highly skilled at pointing with his eyes and using facial expressions to communicate.

What else is he planning for 2017? Brian, who’s adventurous and likes the outdoors, is gearing up for a Parity camping trip at the Canal Centre in the Spring.

The campaign target will be matched up to £3K from the Lisa May Foundation! Thank you, LMF, for supporting our students to meet their goals.
