🏆 #LearningDisabilityWeek2023 💙 Congratulations to all of the Wakefield District Health & Care Partnership awards winners as part of #LDWeek! 👏 Some inspirational stories 😁

Catherine is an absolute inspiration to many... in fact she was nominated an incredible 20 times for our Learning Disability Awards in Wakefield and, since she was on the judging panel, we needed to create a separate category just for her!

This #LDWeek, watch as our West Yorkshire Health and Care Champions aim to debunk the myths around learning disabilities including relationships.

Such a privilege to hear about people's achievements! Thanks to Wakefield Trinity players, Kelepi Tanginoa and Mason Leno for presenting the awards. West Yorkshire Health and Care Partnership #LDWeek23

Wishing all my family, friends, colleagues and frankly anyone celebrating #EidAlAdha, #EidMubarak! A time of peace, love and togetherness. Also huge congratulations to anyone completing the #Hajj2023 pilgrimage this year. May all your prayers and ours be answered ❤️

It's #SharedLivesWeek a great time to find out more about the benefits - both as Shared Lives Carers, and in the independence and happiness for those they support.

Fantastic to be at a coffee morning arranged by Simon Lightwood MP MP for Wakefield with our Shared Lives carers and the people they support, explaining why this is the ultimate in person-centred care and working from home. Wakefield Council #SharedLivesWeek

It was an absolute joy to meet with the Wakefield Council #SharedLives group today to hear directly from service users and carers about how the scheme has enriched their lives.  They need more carers. Do you think you could help? Find out more here: wakefield.gov.uk/adult-social-c…
