Learning Disability England, BILD and Valuing People Alliance are looking for success stories to include in Helping People Thrive, the first of two planned practical guides looking at how to transform the lives of people with a learning disability and/or autism who have been detained in hospital or in Long Term Segregation for too long.
If you (or someone you know) have been out of hospital without readmission for more than a year, they would love to hear from you about:
How did you decide where to live?
How did you decide who would support you?
How does your support help you live your life?
What do you want to do next in your life?
Please get in touch to tell them your story by emailing them at: info@LDEngland.org.uk or phoning them on 0300 111 0444.
This month we were delighted to have been invited to participate in a podcast hosted by Lisa Brown from Supported Living Property.
We don’t believe that the recently proposed benefit changes will have a significant impact on any of our home owners, as they all have lifelong disabilities and have already been assessed as being unable to viably work in paid employment.
We were delighted to have recently been invited to co-host a webinar with The NSG about home ownership for people with disabilities and we were privileged to have been joined by the parents of two of our happy home owners too.
