Meet Sam. 👋 Sam is on our supported internships programme, and says Mencap boosted his confidence when he was feeling low. 🙂 Now he's learning to create and edit videos and wants to be the "bestest" editor he can be. 💪 Listen to his story for #LDArtWeek here.👇 #LDWeek21

"I feel valued in the work I do." - Alix This @BBCNews report highlights what employment can mean for someone with a #LearningDisability. It is more than a job - it is a sign of being included and valued in society. 👨‍👩‍👦 And offers independence too. 💪 bbc.co.uk/news/business-…

The Government is writing a new plan to improve people's lives. 📝 They want to hear from people with a disability, parents, and carers, to help them write it. 💬✍ If you want to have your say, visit: disabilityunit.citizenspace.com/cabinet-office… 👈 They have information in #EasyRead too. 📰

Did you know that we’re creating a National Strategy for Disabled People? Have your say on the strategy now: disabilityunit.citizenspace.com

People with a #LearningDisability are six times more likely than the general population to die from #Coronavirus. But they are not in priority group six for the vaccine. This has to change - they need to be a priority. Email your MP now: bit.ly/EmailYourMPNow 👈
