UK RESPONSE TO LEBANON: This is our hospital ship RFA ARGUS. With Beirut hospitals overwhelmed (injured being treated in car parks) this asset should be part of our support offered to Lebanon.

Employment is so important to many people who have a learning disability. This is my son Ross at work. Sadly he’s not been able to go to work since March because of #Covid & he misses it terribly 😞 #thinkdifferently Mencap #learningdisabilityworkweek
