✍️ Disability benefits are a lifeline. They help to counteract the massive extra costs that disabled people face.

They aren't "perverse incentives that drive people into welfare dependency" ❌

10 year anniversary this year

[Joseph Rowntree Foundation @jrf_uk]

Slashing benefits to meet an arbitrary fiscal target would be unethical, short sighted and illogical. ❌

2 in 5 people receiving disability benefits already experience hardship – meaning they are either unable to afford enough food, heat their home or pay household bills. 1/3

[Joseph Rowntree Foundation @jrf_uk]

Almost 4 million people experienced destitution in a single year – unable to keep themselves dry, warm and fed.

Hardship has reached a shameful level in our country and our primary schools and primary healthcare services are staggering under the weight of it. 🔽 (1/2)

[APLE Collective @ApleCollective]

It's #LearningDisabilityWeek and APLE Collective are highlighting the theme "Do you see me?".

It’s essential to challenge the barriers faced by those with learning disabilities and ensure their voices are heard and not hidden. #APLEMonth2024

[Mind @MindCharity]

It’s Men’s Health Week, remember this 🩵

Men,

It’s okay to cry.
It’s okay to show emotion.
It’s okay to be emotional.
It’s okay to feel sad.
It’s okay to be okay.
It’s okay to not be okay.
It’s okay to feel.
It’s okay to grieve.
It’s okay to tell someone you’re struggling.
It’s okay to talk.
It’s okay to struggle.
It’s okay to fail.
It’s okay to feel lost.

It’s okay to talk about your mental health.

Great to see so many fantastic people promoting arts for everyone in Salford! Over the years with @MadPride19 we have recognised how art & culture play a huge role in our health & wellbeing. A powerful vehicle for amplifying voices of truth, connecting people & creating change 👌

[Sarah Whitehead @sjpwhitehead]

Fantastic support at community launch of Mixing Colours exhibition @The_Lowry working with Salford residents to showcase their talent & skills & to promote arts for everyone 😀 thanks @SalfordLoaves for all their support to the group members who also attend their monday art club

[Cormac Russell @CormacRussell]

I'm delighted to be running an open course for professionals in health, social work, policing, housing, sports and local govt. who want to move towards more community-centred practice. Come join me on 19th April. Book your place here: https://t.co/7mj0cCrxzv

[Community Pride CIC @Community_Pride]

This is our experience too - disappointing, to say the least

[Cormac Russell @CormacRussell]

Targeting resources towards needs, directs funds towards professionals, institutions & programs; not towards communities. The perverse reality of most helping institutions is that they need people’s needs, not their collective power, solidarity or assets. #RekindlingDemocracy

A great 2 days at Luther King House. Sharing the approach of Paulo Friere for community empowerment and some practical tips for facilitating empowerment groups in local areas 💪wonderful to meet everyone and wishing them all the best with their ideas and work.

[Church Action on Poverty @churchpoverty]

Last week, a group of facilitators from across the country came together for a two-day training programme run by our friends at @Community_Pride

At the end of the day, they were all eager to build a network of community empowerment groups together to speak #TruthToPower

[Community Pride CIC @Community_Pride]

@CormacRussell Often within traditional volunteering structures there's a hierarchy that doesn't exist in horizontal structures of community helping & giving, because of this hierarchy there is also sometimes status that is being sought. It can significantly shift the impact, energy & outcomes

[Community Pride CIC @Community_Pride]

@CormacRussell Theres so much in this, giving help is a beautiful thing but often dignity can be lost, the mutuality in communities coming together is the opposite and empowers people & can give a sense of pride to all involved

[Community Pride CIC @Community_Pride]

@CormacRussell What a wonderful post @CormacRussell it's hugely important to recognise this difference & to resource & value the actions that communities are taking to support each other. Building community power & self sustaining communities that have autonomy & choice over the things they do
