Keen to engage with students and raise awareness of issues affecting people with learning disabilities.

It is disappointing that #Budget2021 did not reflect the value of adult social care. This was a missed opportunity to provide some RESPITE for social care staff and carers, support the economic RECOVERY and create the space for the Government to set out its plans for REFORM.

Keep up the fantastic work. My son is now 34 thanks to research, surgery and ongoing care. 😍

[British Heart Foundation @TheBHF]

Each day, 13 babies in the UK are diagnosed with congenital heart disease. The BHF is funding crucial breakthroughs so we can protect these tiny hearts

[Mencap @mencap_charity]

We are delighted to announce that...🎺

We are incredibly excited to have Harvey as part of the Mencap family.

Welcome Harvey! 🚆🐸

Back in Oxford caring for my Dad, preparing his breakfast with today's paper. Feels so incongruous for a person with learning disabilities to be on the cover of the telegraph, and so disappointing that this conversation is still going on. Sort it out @MattHancock

[Prof Ryan @sarasiobhan]

Finding the last chapter of ‘Those they called Idiots’ almost unreadable. Should be essential reading for medical students/professionals. #HMD

Guardian front page, Thursday 21 January 2021: "Democracy has prevailed"

[Michelle Obama @MichelleObama]

With her strong and poignant words, @TheAmandaGorman reminds us of the power we each hold in upholding our democracy. Keep shining, Amanda! I can't wait to see what you do next. 💕 #BlackGirlMagic

What an absolutely remarkable photo.

[Kamala Harris @KamalaHarris]

I’m here today because of the women who came before me.

[Amnesty International USA @amnestyusa]

Today is a new day. The US has a chance to start to reverse its long history of human rights violations.

We urge @joebiden and @kamalaharris to adopt a bold and transformational strategy that places human rights at the forefront of all domestic and foreign policies.

[Debra Fearns @DebraFearns]

What an inspirational young woman x

[Oprah Winfrey @Oprah]

I have never been prouder to see another young woman rise! Brava Brava, @TheAmandaGorman! Maya Angelou is cheering—and so am I.

[Barack Obama @BarackObama]

Congratulations to my friend, President @JoeBiden! This is your time.

[Sense @sensecharity]

Yesterday we met with Minister for Disabled People @JustinTomlinson.

Members of the Sense Usher Team & our employment support group shared their experiences of the welfare & benefits system with the Minister & @DWP. This will feed directly into the Government Disability Strategy

[Paloma Faith @Palomafaith]

Congratulations to these two! Better days ahead for the US and the world! #InaugurationDay @KamalaHarris @JoeBiden

[Health Liaison Team @HLTHertsCC]

It is so important that people with learning disabilities still have their annual health check at this time. We know that some illnesses hide, it's best to get things checked so we can all stay healthy & safe! @HVCCG @ENHertsCCG @HWHertfordshire @HertsADS @mencap_charity
