Simon, a Southdown learning disability services client, is smiling while brushing a pool table at his local snooker club, wearing a dark hoodie with his name embroidered on it. A staff member stands nearby, watching and chatting with him. Several pool tables and a TV screen are visible in the background.

I love coming to work. It makes me feel good.
