Supporting the people of Neath Port Talbot living with life long health conditions / disabilities through peer support and companionship

[Siarad Cymru @Siarad_Cymru]

We are Siarad Cymru (formerly Together NPT Community Support) 😊

We may have changed our name but our aims are still exactly the same; to provide support to anyone that needs it through peer support, companionship, social activities and necessary referrals

❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Making our local pathways and routes accessible for everyone!!
Neath Port Talbot Council is looking for feedback on the Active Travel Network Map to highlight accessibility barriers across our borough.

[Siarad Cymru @Siarad_Cymru]

We’ve decided to take a little break to reflect on the best way forward for Siarad Cymru.
You’ll still see us at our usual groups and events and we are still here for referrals, so please do reach out if you need any support.
Thanks for understanding. See you soon! ✨

[Siarad Cymru @Siarad_Cymru]

Accessibility is a massive barrier for so many people. It’s time to speak out and get ourselves heard ❤️

[Siarad Cymru @Siarad_Cymru]

Hi all 👋
We are interested to see what (if any) support is readily accessible to residents of NPT with health conditions / disabilities.
We would be so grateful if you could spare a minute of your time to fill in this quick survey 😊

People with learning disabilities deserve to be seen, heard and valued just like everyone else. They deserve to be supported and treated equally whether it's at home, at work or in the community.
To those living with learning difficulties, I hear you! ❤️

Are you one of the 24.6% of people in NPT living with a disability?
Does the lack of accessible facilities ever stop you from going certain places and enjoying days out?

If you believe there should be more accessible public toilet facilities in Neath Port Talbot please take the time to sign the petition below👇

All welcome to join us at The Gathering Place, Neath tomorrow 😊

As well as us being there for anyone needing a friendly chat/support, the community shop will be open from 12-2.30 where you’ll be able to get five free items, free tea/coffee plus free food by Food For Life. All is asked for in return is a donation if you are able to.

Lots of wonderful things going on to help the community 😊❤️

This is something that affects so many of us, myself included; everyone should be able to go places and enjoy days out without worrying about what some people take for granted.

It will only take a minute to click on the link below and sign the petition, together we can create a voice loud enough to make start making a change!

[Siarad Cymru @Siarad_Cymru]

We are calling on @NPTCouncil to review all public toilet facilities within the county borough ownership/or operation to ensure that they are fully accessible to all.

Absolutely everyone should be able to use public facilities without difficulty, and it’s not right that so many people are denied this basic need.

Please sign and share, hopefully this is the first step to making a change ❤️

[Siarad Cymru @Siarad_Cymru]

As you know we are fully behind @ChangingPlaceUK’s campaign to see more accessible public toilet facilities, which at the moment seems to be lacking in Neath Port Talbot.

We would love to get some feedback regarding using public facilities in the area.. Have you been left struggling due to lack of space or general needs in toilet facilities? Have you gone home early or not gone anywhere due to the lack of accessibility? Or maybe you have been pleasantly surprised by a public facility?

Feel free to contact us with your experience (good or bad!), anonymously if you wish. ❤️

[Siarad Cymru @Siarad_Cymru]

When it comes to public toilets, they should be accessible to everyone regardless of the challenges they may face.
Which is why we are joining @ChangingPlaceUK with their campaign to get fully accessible toilets in as many places as possible.

This week is Invisible Disability Awareness Week ❤
Too many people struggling with their health are going unseen, unheard and unbelieved. We deserve to be seen, heard, believed and treated with equality and respect
