Michael Atkinson

Michael started his career in the meat trade 22 years ago as a meat trimmer and has been a butcher since 2006. He lives in Spalding and is married with 3 children. Michael’s 10-year-old son, Jack not only has a developmental coordination disorder and low muscle tone but is also dyslexic. Jack happily uses a laptop at school as he finds it hard to hold a pencil and write; however, at home, the family only had a very old second-hand computer. To enable Jack to do his homework and access programs to help him improve his spelling and grammar, his parents requested a BDCI grant to fund a desktop PC and printer bundle.
