Please can you keep a look out for Ismail, especially if you live in or near #Barnet. Thank you.

Very little is said & discussed of technological initiatives for people with developmental disabilities with mental/physical health comorbidity. we bring together in a head day webinar some interesting innovative applications to improve lives. @regalexa https://t.co/xXdPJgdiIS

I can’t find the words for how proud I am of the GRASSroots team. They asked people poignant personal questions about death & grief and really listened to their answers. Do join this webinar like absolutely no other! 8 June 12.30 @derwem @KUStGeorges @Cleggins82 @FoxNikkiFox

Halfway... my London marathon started just before 4:30 this morning... it’s not going to be fast and it is certainly wet... but worth it for @mencap_charity... #LondonMarathon

“The nations human rights scandal must come to an end.” Figures released today show 2,060 people with a #LearningDisability and #Autism are still trapped in modern day asylums. Read Leo’s story and how she had to fight for her son’s release in @MetroUK. https://t.co/IJsC9l1oOL

This looks like a great resource for parents and families.

We photograph births and newborns, so why not people’s final days and funerals? My own mother’s funeral (2014) was discreetly video recorded and photographed. It provides us with comfort and even happiness to look at them. And the photos we took when she was ill are so precious

During lockdown: How can you inform someone who doesn't understand words that their mum has died? One of the questions sent in so far, which I'll address in the webinar. Send me yours! Join me on Wednesday. (Spoiler alert: I don't have all the answers... but let's start talking!)

Our staff supported the residents at one of our services to make their own #Covid-19 time capsule. ⏰

They filled it with memories and stories of how they've felt during lockdown. 💭

We love this idea. ❤️
