Big thanks to @JoshreevesDCMS and Leonard Cheshire in Wales for organising a great Q&A session at Maerdy community centre today. It's part of the #MyVoiceMyChoice programme.

We still have a long way to go to make our communities fully accessible and inclusive for people with disabilities.

Closed a tough chapter today, featured on Sky News for UK COVID inquiry. Freed from a pandemic prison. My Room still feels like prison that's why I tend to have social media breaks for mental health. Now back, advocating for disabled voices. 🌟💙 #COVIDInquiry #mentalhealth

Thanks to our campaign support officer @joshreevesDCMS & My Voice, My Choice participant Jade for highlighting crucial accessible barriers faced by wheelchair users. Gratitude to @Sarah4Bridgend for looking at these issues directly. #DisabilityAwareness #MyVoiceMyChoice

Some of our residents enjoyed playing games in the garden 🌞

Absolute pleasure for me and Sarah Murphy MS to join Josh and Roxanne from Leonard Cheshire in Wales and a packed auditorium for our Q&A today in Coleg Penybont | Bridgend College's amazing Steam Academy campus.

We're looking forward to working with you on future campaigns.

An impactful event at Coleg Penybont | Bridgend College today with Welsh Government politicians Huw Irranca-Davies and Sarah Murphy MS. Thank you for allowing Bridgend students to voice their concerns about transportation and accessibility challenges faced by disabled individuals. #MyVoiceMyChoice

Ty Cwm residents had a great day exploring Laugharne Castle. Learning about the history of the medieval castle, Dylan Thomas, and admiring the glorious views of the Taf estuary. They enjoyed a picnic and had an ice-cream in the beautiful sunshine 🌞

Even though the sun wasn't shining Ty Cwm residents still had a great time at Pembrey country park having a picnic 🥪🍦🥤. What a fun day had by all 😀

One of our service users had an amazing time at the Principality Stadium watching Wales V South Africa 🏈

Our chair, Emma Woollett sets the scene for the situation we find ourselves in and emphasises the need to transform the way we deliver care, which has to take place in partnership, in collaboration, informed be those we serve.

Picking carrots in the Danybryn gardens today - then taste testing them - delicious and fresh🥕

Leonard Cheshire’s Training and Consultancy team spent time at HMP Parc in Wales. They spent the day planning a partnership to provide inclusive services for disabled residents and inclusive employment for disabled colleagues.

Danybryn's fete was a big hit last month🎉

The EHRC has accused the UK government of making 'slow progress' in improving the lives of disabled people. The report to the UN warns that many disabled people continue to face discrimination and the situation continues to worsen. #disabilityrights bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politi…

Last month, Ty Cwm enjoyed National French Fry Day, which was kindly donated by McDonalds in Carmarthen!

Everyone enjoyed their meals and they are very grateful to the team in Carmarthen for their kind donation😄
