About Annie

Annie lives in her own flat in Edinburgh and is supported to live independently. She enjoys watching a variety of sports on TV including tennis, athletics, and rugby. Annie regularly visits the local library to get both printed and audio books and enjoys shopping at the nearby Sainsbury’s.

Annie is a lovely young woman who loves spending time with her PAs, enjoys chatting, and has a wicked sense of humour. She likes watching the news, movies, and various programmes, particularly on Netflix and Disney. Christmas is her favourite time of the year, and she loves music, especially pop and rock.

Annie needs a dedicated team around her who are compassionate and person-centred, respecting her wishes and supporting her interests. If this is you, we would love to hear from you!
