On 30th September I swam the Mencap Mile for charity. It was good though I can’t say I didn’t enjoy it because I did! I did the swim outside in Dorney Lake in Surrey.

My name is Simon Smith and I live independently in a Mencap Cymru supported living house in Flintshire. In September 2012 I met with Aled Roberts, an Assembly Member (AM) for North Wales, to learn more about what he does.

I have been in a relationship with my fiancé Mark Lawrence for 9 and a half years. I met Mark at Guildford College in September 1996. We were on the same course together.

On 3 May I went to a test event at the Olympic Park. A test event is like a practice so that LOCOG can make sure everything will go well during the Games.

I saw the advert for the new documentary series on Channel 4 called The Undateables. The series follows people with a disability and their search for love. The advert was negative towards people with a disability. I felt that the way that it was publicised was negative and offensive to people with a disability. I also felt that the title of the series is really offensive to people with a disability.
