🎂Un 60 cumpleaños con muchos significados A veces, no celebramos los cumples porque pensamos que no son especiales Pero, si pensamos en todo lo que Plena inclusión ha hecho solo en el último de los 60 años que cumple, te puedes emocionar: plenainclusion.org/voces/num… #Plena60años

The Citizenship team heard that some people are feeling unsupported and that they do not have all the help they need. You can find the reports for the end of the project here bit.ly/citizenshipreport #InclusionNorth #CitizenshipTeam #Report #Project

As part of our Citizenship work - People want safe spaces where they feel they belong, not having a curfew, reading in their bedroom late at night, being able to ask people to leave, and decorating the way they like. You can find the reports here bit.ly/citizenshipreport #InclusionNorth #CitizenshipTeam #Home #Project #SafeSpaces

As part of the Citizenship Project we found that everyone has been impacted by the cost-of-living crisis. Disabled people will be impacted even more. You can find the reports here bit.ly/citizenshipreport #InclusionNorth #CitizenshipTeam #CostOfLivingCrisis #DisabledPeople

This is a good time to have an honest conversation about #socialcare - we need a very different settlement that disinvests from institutions and invests in people, families and neighbourhoods.
We won’t be playing party political games. It is time for proper, cross-party talks on social care funding, where tough but essential decisions are needed.

 We will also make sure that carers cannot be forgotten again by people in power.
