Last Friday, Mark, who we support in Samlesbury at Last Friday, Mark, who we support in Samlesbury at Stanley Grange Community Association, went to Three Sisters Local Nature Reserve. He had a lovely walk with his personal assistant, Mike, and his adorable English Cocker Spaniel dog. 

They also went to The Hamlet Wigan CIC (@thehamletwigan), which has a café and market stalls, and supports adults with additional needs. Mark had a wonderful time, enjoying new experiences and taking in the countryside. 🥾☕

We were proud to attend September’s Manchester gat We were proud to attend September’s Manchester gathering, where people with lived experience came together to share powerful messages for the Casey Commission on the future of adult social care. 💬✨

You can view the video from the day, created by Leighton Wise below and also view the report below. The gathering focused on one key message: listen to us and work with us to grow a system that truly helps people live good, connected lives. 🌟

Together we called for a social care system built on shared power, human rights, early help, real self-directed support, community-building approaches, and a workforce enabled to focus on relationships, not just tasks. ❤️

Let’s spread the word and keep this movement growing. 🙌⭐️💙
