Terry Veness embodies the perfect example of what can be achieved by people with learning difficulties if they are provided with the right support and resources in a timely manner.  Terry aged 40, actually suffers from learning difficulties and when he was first brought to Care UK from the hospital he was a withdrawn person, living in his own little world and unwilling to mingle with other people.  He had difficulties in communicating with other people as well taking care of himself and doing routine work. 

However, with the support that he got from Care UK, he has now successfully coped with his learning capabilities and now has two jobs-working at a drop café at Sawyers Church in the morning and as art technician at Sheffield High School.  He has taken a course in Makaton which is a sign language with learning disability and is currently studying Communication Through Art at Thurrock College. 

Terry has not only improved his communication skills but has also started mastering routine tasks which previously was beyond his capacity like making his own breakfast and managing his medication.  However the biggest achievement so far for Terry is the fact that he got the change to present the a workshop to the Deputy Prime Minister regarding the work done by the association Frontline and Essex County Council for people with learning difficulties. 

With the support from Care UK, Terry has completely turned his life around from being someone who so far was dependent on others to being someone who now has his life in his own hands.
