henry's story

Well I stay in Aberchirder in a sheltered housing complex. LAst week was my first week at Banff day Services and I got on fine; I enjoyed coming to the group and finding out more about photography. I used to bide in Whitehills before; my father had a boat and I went out to sea with him. I liked going out to sea. I went out for about six months and I left because my grandfather passed away.

I also worked at SANGS factory for two years; I enjoyed that and I left because I got paid off. I also worked at Downie's in WHitehills, washing the fish and boxing them; I stayed there for six months and left because we moved to a new farm. My brother and myself didn't want to move but my father wanted to mve to a bigger farm. My brother didn't like his new school when we moved.

Fianlly we moved to Foggie and I got a job with a furniture store. Once we even did a removal from Wales to "Foggie."

I like taking photos of things.

I have one sister who has twins and one brother.

I haven't used computers much before but I am here to learn.

Hey I'm Lauren. I'm a NC Health And Social Care student at Aberdeen College currently on placement here at Banff Day Services for four weeks. I chose to study health and social care because I find the subject interesting and want to help and makes peoples lives better. After this course I will continue on to HNC Social Care and then maybe university to study Social Work. My experiance here at Banff Day Services so far has been exciting and fun. I have met many new different kinds of people and taken part in a variety of activites. I was suprised at the range of things there is to do and how involved it is within the community.
