Through the support of everyone at Roots, Tyler has overcome numerous mobility issues and learning difficulties to become a confident and very much loved part of the Roots experience. He excels at digging and planting at Lanzalotty becoming the King of the Spuds!
Tyler has been coming to Project since 2023, introduced to us by his sister Hollie. He loves coming to Project as he is a budding artists and he has access to the huge art cupboard and all of the different colouring pens, paints and pencils. He loves making new friends and hanging out with his older brother Jack and playing football, cards and scooting around the car park.
On a Sunday, Tyler is our King of the Spuds! He comes to the allotment with Jack and thoroughly enjoys digging, planting, feeding the birds and learning all about nature. He says “I really love nature because everything is a living creature – even us!”. One favourite part of the allotment for Tyler is sharing beef and horseradish snacks with Project Manager Claire, as it’s “like having a roast dinner!”
Everyone at Roots Projects are so friendly and supportive! Everyone has made a big effort to include me in all of the activities and make me feel able to take part and encourage me to achieve lots of different things I would not normally do.
Fun, exciting and happiness. I really love coming to all the different activities as I make new friends and can have a go at new things. This makes me feel really happy.
That it’s fun and there’s loads to do and you can learn new things and make new friends
