This week we visited the offices of our wonderful Charity Partner Grosvenor Carpets to thank them for their continued support. Jennie received this poster which is a small token of our gratitude. It’s local companies like Grosvenor Carpets that make a big difference.

It's International Day of Person's With Disabilities. We have been raising awareness about disability sport at a local primary school in Bournemouth. Young Adam has proved that with the right equipment and support there are no limits! #Disability #wheelchairsport #sport

Just discovered #thereshegoes on @BBCiPlayer wasn't sure how I felt about the idea of severe learning disabilities being portrayed in a comedy series but it's heart-warmingly good. After all, it helps to have a sense of humour in our world #ThereSheGoes #LearningDisability

Frustrating Dr's appointment today, shoulder pain, hand cramps, knee pain all wear and tear related to being a full time carer to my physically disabled son. 4 months wait for physio appt so gave me a sheet with 5 generic exercises on. #nocareforcarers #carers

[Paddy's Purpose @PaddysPurpose]

Heart breaking, this, on my news feed today from a desperate parent/carer. Where is the emotional support for parents of disabled/sick children. I see statuses every day from friends who are driven to the edge. We need mental health support now!

It’s very difficult for my son who has #CerebralPalsy to drink through a paper straw. #Cafe #Restaurants #Bars please have a small stash of #plastic straws for your #disabled customers. It’s becoming so much harder when we forget to take our own @Tanni_GT #ReasonableAdjustments
