Peter Flynn Volunteer, Singer and Writer
About Peter Flynn by Ian Hobbs
Peter is a Chorlton Good Neighbour volunteer and has been for many years. Peter and has sister Margaret Flynn have written a book on learning disabilities called "thick about" "Having a learning disability." This is a children's book but I would recommend it to anyone who is looking for a learning disability awareness publication.
At this point you might be thinking that Peter Flynn works as a learning disability professional. But this is not the case. Peter is an adult with learning disabilities and with the support of his sister Margaret he is the co-author of this wonderful book.
In addition to Peters voluntary work with Chorlton Good Neighbours and his writing. Peter has a part time job working within the NHS he works in one the local South Manchester hospitals. Peter is also a singer and sings at our monthly Sunday teas.
A quote from Margaret and Peter Flynn's book
"Try to imagine what life would be like if you had a learning disability. Where would you go to school? Would you be able to play with your friend? You might be surprised to find out just how much people with learning disabilities can do when they are given the chance."

My reason for being a Chorlton Good Neighbours Volunteer, by Peter Flynn
I enjoy doing my voluntary work because it keeps me busy and I enjoy the crack. (criac) I have recently begun to sing a song at the Sunday teas, just before the main entertainer come on, and everyone seems to like it.
