We're very pleased to have Mia joining us as a full time staff member, after receiving valuable support from @SkillsTeamPKC and their Employer Recruitment Incentive.

Mia's been around the YMCA as a young person, a volunteer, sessional staff, and part time staff, and it's brilliant that she's now able to take another step into a full time role.

There's still time to apply for this high-impact role supporting better health and wellbeing in Perth & Kinross and beyond.

We'd love to hear from anyone with a passion for community building and a working knowledge of what support is needed locally:

Here's this week's Friday reminder.

It's important to acknowledge and express your feelings. It's also important to know that all feelings will pass.

Our feelings are part of us but they are not all of us. Our feelings don't define us.

The Government has announced a Disability Action Plan. This includes the potential for the UK to host the 2031 Special Olympics World Summer Games.

Despite these steps forward, it is unlikely to bring about the change people with a learning disability need.
