Debate. After weeks of speculation, the government finally announced its plan to overhaul the welfare system with the biggest cuts to disability benefits on record. But what do they mean for people with a learning disability? learningdisabilitytoday.co.uk/topic/policy/w…

Today is the day the Trustees meet to decide which organisations to support. With 60 applications this year and only around five that we can support, it is a tough job. Will you be lucky? Last year we supported seven charities.

The annual meeting was held last week and grants made to four organisations. The trustees are now reviewing their giving method and details will be available on our website towards the end of the year. Please check then before applying.
