People with intellectual disabilities denied voting rights in seven EU countries – Euractiv Proud of colleagues Inclusion Europe for working tirelessly on this issue thks to Ketchum #Brussels for amplifying @RichardBakerNE 🇪🇺🇪🇺🇪🇺 euractiv.com/section/politi…

As a challenging year for the #charity sector comes to a close, we look forward with optimism to 2024 - a year when Enable celebrates 70 years campaigning for an #EqualSociety & continues to fight for #FairWork for the #SocialCare workforce.

#HappyNewYear2024 to all.

Theresa Shearer Growing recognition that this is a wider issue UK-wide, with #SocialCare & other #charities increasingly relied upon to use donations & reserves to cover shortfalls in public contracts. Simply not sustainable.

“By the time you & I need care, there will be no left to look after us”….a tough but true message. Yet again we fail however to discuss the role of the charity sector in plugging the funding gaps…Operating without profits & funnelling charitable surpluses into #statutorycare

We are thrilled that we now have a full team to deliver our Community Youth Groups for young people aged 8-18 across Scotland, supported by Motability Foundation . Meet the newest members of our team! We cannot wait to see the impact they have in Inverness and Aberdeen. #EnableCommunities

I’m delighted to be in Brussels today for the launch of the first Inclusion Europe #Inclusion Indicators report, providing vital information on how much more we need to do across Europe to ensure people with learning disabilities are fully included in all our communities.
