Fortune Works service users enjoyed taking part in a general election hustings event held by @Enable_Tweets this morning. Great to talk to party reps about transport, social security and care charges.

A huge thank you to our intrepid Kiltwalkers who completed the 23 mile walk with smiles on their faces (most of the time ). The team from Fortune Works have raised over £1,500 so far and we can't thank them enough!

It was my pleasure to sponsor the #EnableTheVote photocall and drop-in session at the Scottish Parliament.
@Enable_Tweets and @ElectoralCommUK want to ensure people who have a learning disability are informed about voting and, crucially, use their right to vote in elections.
