Great to be involved in the @ASCAPPG Parliamentary Coffee Morning today to discuss concerns and challenges in social care with MP’s. Thank you @helenemaguire and @NeilForPoole for meeting up #SocialCareReform . Government need to listen to people with lived experience!

We have all been struggling to go on our desired holidays during the pandemic. Did you know that many people living in care services don’t get to choose where they go on holidays due to the budget or staffing levels?

Imagine having a blast with your friends on a night out only to be interrupted at 9 PM to go home so that support team members can finish their shift? Something @StayUpLateUK have been campaigning on.

Did you know that there are “wheelchair accessible” places that will only fit a standard wheelchair? Did you know that there are still many buildings which are inaccessible to people who use wheelchairs?

Many people with learning disabilities and autistic people still live in closed institutions and are being medicated for their behaviour with medicines designed to treat mental health conditions.

Many people with learning disabilities and autistic people rely on 1:1 support to leave their house. Imagine not being able to leave your house whenever YOU want to?

Many people can’t leave their house for long due to not enough changing places toilets in the community. Imagine having to give up a nice day out to simply go to the loo?

My grandma was incredibly kind. We would bring her treats to the hospital where she lived most of her life, and the first thing she wanted to do was offer them to the nurses. She was an inspiration to me and is the reason why I work in social care 💜
#SchizophreniaAwarenessDay – at Hackney, London
2 years ago I could not have imagined that getting to see my family would be such a MISSION! 2 years, 3 postponed trips and lots of destroyed nerves later I am home in +32 degrees sipping iced latte with my beautiful mum 🥰
“Circle of Life” pendant in sterling silver and herkimer diamond. Each Circle of Life pendant that I’ve made is slightly unique due to the nature of handmade jewellery. Skull cast from a zebra finch who was very loved and died of natural causes.

Jenny used leaves and flowers from her garden to create this fish portrait. She also used crepe paper, pom poms and pipe cleaners to create a flower bed with butterflies.
