Focusing On Your Abilities

33 yrs of supporting people with learning differences , autism & mental health issues . I work in partnership with individuals to achieve their goals & dreams.

[Milestones Trust @MilestonesTrust]

The #CostOfLiving crisis is continuing to disproportionately impact disabled people, including those with a #LearningDisability.

It’s time for action, not words.

It’s time for long term solutions, not sticking plasters.

Heard of the Disabled Facilities Grant? It can be used to fund #innovative services, like Brain in Hand, providing tools for developing essential living skills. Brain in Hand helps improve user independence and reduces costs for service providers. Visit https://t.co/u1BQzMiB2z.

[Autism care and share @autcareandshare]

Shockingly only one uk newspaper is reporting about the failure of this government to vaccinate people with learning disabilities in particular those between 18-34 who are significantly more at risk.
No other media source is reporting on it!!!!!!!!!
WHY NOT ???????

[Brain in Hand @brain_in_hand]

Even though people with hidden disabilities have been Blue Badge-eligible since 2019, many applications are rejected, leading to stressful appeals for something that could be essential for everyday life.

Here's an ITV report with our own @ConnorWardUK: https://t.co/zlg5zevmyu

This week a beautiful, nature-inspired mural was created at our Tramways home in Brislington. 🎨

Residents came up with ideas for some features of the mural, including a fox, vegetables and house cat Jet. 😻

Thanks to @gagegraphics for this wonderful work of art! 👍
