The 'Our Past, Their Future' project is run by Mencap in collaboration with the National Heritage Lottery. We are focused on recording the experiences of parents of children (of any age) with learning disabilities in Wales over the last 80 years. Eventually all of our research will be pooled together into a travelling exhibition which will be displayed at:

St Fagans National Museum of History, Cardiff
Storiel Musuem, Bangor
Torfaen Museum, Pontypool
Scolton Manor, Pembrokeshire

Have you seen the new website Get Checked Out?

It's a website which brings together health and wellbeing information from all the health boards in Wales into one place. It's sure to be a brilliant resource and a place where you can find out the information you need in your area.

It's being hosted by our friends and colleagues at CC4LD

People with a learning disability want to work.

The system needs to work for them too.

We want to add to this. Our favourite recently has been:

" We have concerns that you wont be able to train people with learning disabilities as researchers in (that very reasonable time frame)! "

But we also like:

" People with learning disabilities have enough"

And an employer......

" I'd be worried they'll have a meltdown in the middle of the store"

Shows how far we still have to go!
