Did you know we provide a bespoke advocacy service for parents who have a learning disability? A parent we advocated for said: "I felt more confident and able to say what I thought". If you know someone who would benefit from our support make a referral via our website today.

Digital technology has given us the means to support and connect with many of our beneficiaries during the pandemic. However, we all must remember, not all disabled people can or want to access support digitally. We must ensure people have accessible options to use our services.

All welcome to our community dog walk in Menses Park today at 2pm. You do not need a dog to attend, especially today, when it may be a little too hot for some of our canine friends. Just come and enjoy a walk in the sun.

Incredibly disappointed that there is no call for a rapid review of guidance around #AGPdiscriminstion with only reference to building works and PPE. None of that would be needed if children were treated with #equality
