Learning disability university research teams, learning disability organisations and support services gone… It really is dire here in Wales. Urgent action required. Eluned Morgan

Important post from Learning Disability Wales CEO on the loss of #LearningDisability services. As the research team National Centre for Mental Health (NCMH) Cardiff University we had never been in the position before where funding & support was so low. We still had so much significant work to do Senedd Research Dr Elisa Vigna

10 libraries are at risk of closure across Caerphilly borough 📚. I asked the Welsh Government once again for urgent support to help keep these libraries open. Byddai cau'r trysordai hyn yn weithred mor ddinistriol, ddisynnwyr. Rhaid eu hachub.

All Wales People First produced a Position Statement on the Government's Green Paper 'Reforming Benefits & Support to Get Britain Working'. This is the direct voice of people with #learningdisabilities in Wales. Statement is on the website: allwalespeople1st.co.uk/resource-list/ Sarah Murphy MS

We are all so sad to hear that Vale People First has made the difficult decision to close. Self advocacy is so important and this will be a terrible loss for everyone involved.

So disappointing to see this. We must fight to ensure that people with learning disabilities in Wales can continue to have access to self-advocacy support.
