Loose parts play isn’t just good for kids, it’s good for the world! It allows children to play and learn freely and equally ways less restricted by culture, gender and class and is a great way to recycle anything from an old pallet to a battered cooking pot! #Playday2019

Our #SiRD2021 Year 1 review also shows how independent support helps people and carers know about and access community based support and resources, as well as manage a social care budget #SelfDirectedSupport #ChoiceandControl

People have also fed back that independent support and advocacy has helped them to cope with their condition or caring situation better. Having consistent support to navigate their social care needs helps people feel listened to and less stressed #SiRD2021 #SelfDirectedSupport
Our first progress review is out! In the first 6 months of #SiRD2021 30 funded projects provided focused support to over 2,000 people and carers to manage their social care needs. Over 7,000 people were provided with information and advice about #SelfDirectedSupport
