Great to see our partnership with Hydebank Wood college continue to develop and support people with a learning disability and their families to make prison visits more accessible.

Great work team 👏🏻

Many thanks to @ClaireHanna for her intervention on our behalf today, requesting a debate on #UKSPF & how money can be reinstated to address economic inactivity in NI 👇

We're working with & for our members who are providing these vital projects to ensure future sustainability.

Last weekend we attended @allianceparty conference. It was great to chat with @naomi_long and @StephenFarryMP on key issues affecting people with learning disability both locally and nationally. We continue to engage with all our elected representatives across NI to support people with learning disabilities to live happier and healthier lives.

Today we’re attending #SFAF23 raising awareness with our elected representatives on the ongoing challenges and inequalities people with a learning disability in NI are facing including health, education, housing and employment.

People with a learning disability have a right to live happy and healthy lives in their local communities.

Truly unbelievable that we are still sitting in this unknown position at 29th March @Mencap_NI across the Community & Voluntary Sector @niuse_tweets. Frightening to think we are going backwards in NI #TooLittleTooLate

"They have a right to these services and we will no longer be able to provide them."

Community organisations warn that the most vulnerable people in society will suffer if EU funding for their services is not replaced soon by the UK government https://t.co/AAtEbAYZi6
