Great to be contributing to an Lancashire County Council event looking at the development of sexual health services, particularly raising awareness of the needs of disabled people. Learning lots about the provision from partners.

Really enjoyed an exhilarating days training with 4EDEN staff today. An organisation committed to developing creative ways of meeting relationships and sexuality needs. We laughed, learned and deliberated. Both me and them have lots more work to do U-Night Group

It’s been great to provide the Train the Trainer- Relationships and Sexuality course for providers in Lancashire recently. Inspired by the calibre and interest of the participants. Got to practice some newly devised games and activities @supportedloving ⁦Skills for Care⁩

On our way to the theatre in Manchester this week,popped into the Peoples History Museum to see the Nothing About Us Without Us exhibition. This is a brilliant reflect on the history of self advocacy. A reminder of how far we’ve come and how very far we still need to go. 🥲

Controlling behaviour makes a woman dependent on her partner by isolating her from friends and family and depriving her of the means needed for an independent and healthy life and to doubt her own reality. 📞Please call 0161 660 7999 or email [email protected]

Delighted that my great friend, Philip, has been rewarded by the agency that supports him, @onefylde for his business venture: Brilliant Badges. Self-employment should be an option for people with a learning disability. Looking forward to working with his team on the next phase

A privilege to help my colleague to fulfil his democratic right. He was delighted to be able to put the cross in the box, especially as it was large text. Hope lots of people with learning disability got to vote #myvoicemyvote Mencap
