We want to find ways to connect and talk with our friends and fellow members when we can’t leave our homes

It is anti bullying week. If you are being made to feel bad about yourself, you are being bullied, talk to someone you trust

We are still staying safe whilst struggling with isolation, anxiety and loneliness so we were pleased to find this, which reminds everyone we all react differently to anxiety. #COVID19 #LearningDisabilities #Anxiety

Enjoy the sunshine, stay home. smile and wave make a difference to someone self isolating. Got puzzles, magazines or games you aren’t using think about who lives near by and is self isolating,. Put on door step, knock and walk away.#LearningDisabilities #SocialIsolation

@Natalie_Onward We love this, it shows what we should be doing

[Natalie Weston @MissNatWest1987]

A week of self isolating had taken its toll on my brother so I decided to cheer him up 🥳Glass may have been between us but we danced together, sat and had a chat next to each other 🤩It really is the little things. I hope everyone is staying safe and well ❤️#thinkoutsidethebox

[Torfaen Peoples First @TorfaenF]

I know people who have a learning disability are really struggling with loneliness while staying home because of corona virus so if you know someone reach out for a chat even if it’s through a window.
