Watch this @RachelKelso12 joined us at our Oct gathering at her own initiative. Hear how she connects with the people she supports but is massively constrained by a system that just has to change. It’s one reason we are calling for changes to commissioning & better support models

@CatherineHorbu3 You are always trying new things... you are so inspiring!
