Meet Sam. 👋

Sam is on our supported internships programme, and says Mencap boosted his confidence when he was feeling low. 🙂

Now he's learning to create and edit videos and wants to be the "bestest" editor he can be. 💪

Listen to his story for #LDArtWeek here.👇 #LDWeek21

"I feel valued in the work I do." - Alix

This @BBCNews report highlights what employment can mean for someone with a #LearningDisability.

It is more than a job - it is a sign of being included and valued in society. 👨‍👩‍👦

And offers independence too. 💪

"I’m asking the government to rethink and prioritise everyone with a #LearningDisability [for the #vaccine]. Show us that you care about us. We are too often forgotten, don’t ignore us now."

The Government is writing a new plan to improve people's lives. 📝

They want to hear from people with a disability, parents, and carers, to help them write it. 💬✍

Do you have some questions about the #Coronavirus vaccine? 🙋

Finding it all a bit confusing? 🤔

We have created an #EasyRead 📄 to help with your questions. 🙂

Available on our website: https://t.co/mfem8KzPeR 👈

[Mencap @mencap_charity]

People with a #LearningDisability are six times more likely than the general population to die from #Coronavirus.

But they are not in priority group six for the vaccine.

This has to change - they need to be a priority.

(Yes, SPHQ is in Tier Four. Yes, those brussel sprouts will be seasoned with our tears.)
