"But for people like Siôn and all his friends, and people in supported living, it's a massive block. It's going to penalise a lot of people with learning disabilities."

Fantastic way to end the year. Some of our carers enjoying a pedal power session in Cardiff.

Many Carers have said that without these activities they would be isolated.

New guidance 👍 Where “individuals with learning disabilities or autism require specific exercise in an open space two or three times each day [they may do so] ideally in line with a care plan agreed with a medical professional.” https://t.co/y151sLQEHa

[Cardiff People First @CardiffPF]

This is what we are doing - we need your help to get carers (paid + unpaid) to understand the importance of what we do, and help people to access it. @ParentsFed @InnovateTrust @MirusWales @DimensionsCymru @cardiffcouncil
