If you’d like to help get The 66 99 Project underway, and want to be involved from the start, we’re having a meeting in Cardiff this Friday.

Come to Central Library for 4.15pm, but let us know beforehand that you’re coming so we know to expect you. Thanks.

Went to see the DAC (Disability Arts Cymru) traveling exhibition in Merthyr today, met up with the lovely ladies of DAC, which is always nice. Met up with @cerysknighton who is exhibiting as well, and she told me that her Mum and Dad had bought my painting! Awesome!

Tonight, we’re sorry to hear about the passing of actress Margot Kidder at the age of 69.

Margot was best known as the character Lois Lane in the original Superman films.

She also spoke openly about her experiences of bipolar disorder.

Inspired by @ProjectBuddy we've produced some drafts of wallpapers / screen lock images for smartphones. Give them a whirl, let us know what you think. Hope they fit your screen and work for you. #creativity #mentalhealth #MentalHealthAwarenessWeek
