Hi, I’m Daniel, the Assistant Manager at Ability Life Opportunity. I have a learning disability called dyspraxia and a passion for empowering people with learning disabilities and autistic individuals to discover their potential and move forward in life.
I'm a qualified Oliver McGowan trainer (Tier 1 and 2), training staff about learning disabilities and autism. I’ve loved music from a young age—despite being told I wouldn't achieve my dreams. At 14, I set up my own disco company, performing at parties for friends and family, and I still love all types of music.
In my free time, I enjoy riding motorcycles, and I dream of becoming a radio DJ. I'm also passionate about supporting the LGBTQ+ community and helping others find their voice. Coming out at 16 was a journey, and meeting my partner at 37 was the best thing that ever happened to me. we work together I everyday and love what we do its being able to help people that need your help its the most satisfying to be able to mentor others and help them gain the conferdence to gain knlowege and inderpendece

Hello, my name is Ryan. I am a Service Coordinator, dedicated to supporting the community, overseeing assistance, and guiding volunteers in the day-to-day operations of our group. My passion for working with people with disabilities comes from my personal experience—my parents were disabled, and I witnessed firsthand the challenges they faced. This inspired me to make a difference, not only for them but also for others who experience loneliness and isolation. I am committed to creating inclusive spaces where everyone feels valued, supported, and connected.
