Learning Disability Week 2026 theme invites us to ask a simple question, 'Do you see me?'

At Best Buddies, we create one to one friendships that build confidence, reduce isolation, and help people feel valued and included in everyday life.

Take a moment to listen, include, and recognise each person for who they are💙 🤝

Best Buddies Donegal Getaway 🌟

Last week some of our Best Buddies members enjoyed a brilliant holiday in Donegal with Codie and Linda 😊

The trip was full of good food, mostly homemade, great laughs, and plenty to do. The group went bowling, visited museums, explored the national park, and of course enjoyed a few local pubs. There was hot tub time, board games, and lots of moments to relax too.

A perfectly balanced mix of adventure and chill, and a week full of happy memories 🌟

We are getting ready for our next trip to Donegal with our members and it feels like the perfect moment to remember our Edinburgh adventure😊

We shared a brilliant bus tour, explored museums, enjoyed amazing food, took long walks, visited castles, enjoyed even more food, and laughed together. We had great craic, meaningful cultural experiences, and lots of positive emotions that still make us smile 😊🍽️🏰

A fantastic effort from our Best Buddies🤩

Proud moments that bring us together 🤩

During the Ballymoney Spring Fair, our CAN Best Buddies NI took part in a sponsorship walk and raised a fantastic £2,566.99 🚶‍♀️

We feel extremely proud of their commitment, teamwork, and positive attitude. Their efforts reflect the strong sense of inclusion and community that CAN promotes every day 💙👏

A special mention to Melody, who raised the highest amount on the day and showed outstanding dedication 🌟
