Paul Samuels had always dreamt of meeting Disney’s stars but had not had the opportunity to go and his health issues made things extremely difficult for him to make the trip. Debbie Randall, Paul’s support worker at Pathways to Independence said, “We’ve been caring for Paul at his home in Hartlepool since 2015.

“Over the years, Paul had mentioned his love of Disney and what it would mean to him to go one day, so we got our heads together to make his life-long dream come true.”
