I am Patrick Burke, but people know me as Paddy.  I Grew up on a farm in my institution where I fed the pigs herd the cattle. I was really shy when I first started People First but they soon knocked that out of me. I’m one of the founding members of People First Merseyside back in 1988. I got involved with PFM when two people came and did a presentation in my institution where I lived they said that they need some people to help them out to start a speaking up group.

People who are close to me are from People First Merseyside. I would like to see young people come in to the company and take it to the next level and we can grow. I get involved with all the projects its good.
