Watch this @RachelKelso12 joined us at our Oct gathering at her own initiative. Hear how she connects with the people she supports but is massively constrained by a system that just has to change. It’s one reason we are calling for changes to commissioning & better support models

Come with me to see what it's like being a homecare worker on a Saturday morning shift. Would love to give more insight into the many varied things we get up to alongside those who draw on support, but here are the rushed in between bits I can show, which are just as important

👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 Congratulations to Mar Galcerán who’s been elected to the Spanish Parliament 😊
Mar told the Guardian newspaper:
“Society is starting to see that people with Down’s syndrome have a lot to contribute. But it’s a very long road.”

They need more carers. Do you think you could help? Find out more here: wakefield.gov.uk/adult-socia…

Catherine is an absolute inspiration to many... in fact she was nominated an incredible 20 times for our Learning Disability Awards in Wakefield and, since she was on the judging panel, we needed to create a separate category just for her!

🏆 Celebrating Exceptional Achievements! Join us in recognizing Catherine, a true role model in the learning disability community. Her unwavering dedication and advocacy make a positive impact on lives. Let's celebrate her inspiring efforts! 👏 #LDWeek #InclusionMatters
