🧵 Thread: New research from Mencap reveals a surprising lack of understanding about learning disabilities in the UK. 1/ 🌟 Nearly half of Brits can't define what a learning disability is. With 1.5 million people affected in the UK, this knowledge gap is significant.

#thursdaythanks to Festability Quex Park for an incredible time! An accessible music festival was an amazing experience for our Swale Hub and was made possible thanks to the Queensborough Fishery Trust. The live bands, dancing, and inclusive atmosphere were fantastic!
