Brilliant to hear about the impact of this funding for disabled children and their families in Gloucestershire. Ever more evidence that co-design is key when carrying out research on and seeking to remove barriers to inclusion
As we enter the summer holidays, our research tells us that many parent-carers are going without breaks. Barnwood Trust has awarded one-year funding to 6 local organisations to run #ShortBreaks provision in #Gloucestershire. Watch the full video via the link in our bio.

“If the disability benefits system is ‘unsustainable’ the Government should take action to deal with the causes of higher numbers of people needing support for their mental health, not take away the help people get to deal with the consequences” 👇

“'It’s okay to not be okay' is one of the most famous lines in mental health campaigning. But for many people struggling with mental illness, it doesn’t feel like it’s okay.” New insights from Mind on how far mental health campaigning still has to go.
