Case study 1:
Mr A has diabetes and suffers from poor eyesight and bad blood circulation in both his legs and therefore lacks mobility. With age his condition has worsened and now he is heavily dependent on others and confined to his home. The My Guide Project Coordinator approached him and explained the project’s aims he immediately showed his interest and soon after a volunteer was matched up with him.Mr A started using the public transport from his house in Pudsey to the city centre and the bus drivers on the route got to know of his condition and thus could help him if he needed any help. He got his confidence back and because he was going out he was less depressed and no longer felt lonely.
