Nice little guide from Mencap βοΈ π
This week, the weather is expected to be very hot.
People with a learning disability, autism, and ADHD might not notice when they are getting too hot or need a break.
They might not know they are overheating until they feel unwell.
We have made an easy read to help you stay safe and comfortable in the heat. It has ways to stay cool, how to protect yourself from the sun and other helpful tips for hot weather.
Please take a look and share with others who might find it useful. Please also check in on people who may need extra support during the hot weather.

π Learning Disability Week 2026 π
This yearβs theme, βDo You See Me?β, reminds us that people with learning disabilities deserve to be seen, heard, respected, and included.
Letβs challenge barriers, champion accessibility, and celebrate the strengths and contributions of people with learning disabilities.
π Do we really see people?
π Do we listen to their experiences?
π€ Do we create spaces where everyone belongs?
This , letβs turn awareness into action and make inclusion a reality for all. π

At 10.00 am this Friday (12th) ποΈ we are having another fundraising coffee morning, all are welcome.
The Charity continues to fund activities, recent purchases are two boxes of art & craft πΌοΈ materials, and we have laid out over Β£80 for fares to enable the centre users to go out - while our minibus π sits there due to ongoing industrial action π
The last I heard WBC and ACAS were attempting to resolve the issues.
There is also a 'Showcase' event to be held at the Floral tomorrow (11th). This is an opportunity to see what the day centres and other sites have to offer while we await the decision regarding the transformation of day centres. π
Thank you for your continued support.
