How long do you spend out and about at the weekend?

We know that being active and spending time with other people or in nature has a profound positive impact on both our physical and mental health.

People with a learning disability may not get the same opportunities to access their local communities as those in the general population.

Here at Seemebe CIO we help to support people with a learning disability to access paid employment in their local community, leading to increased self confidence, self esteem and local support networks.

We love what we do!

This week is Anti-Bullying Week.

A recent survey by Dimensions revealed that 1 in 5 people under 35 admit to have laughed at someone, called someone a name or avoided talking to someone completely because of their learning disability.

We've spoken to people with a learning disability who have shared their own experiences of being bullied.

📖 If you have been affected by bullying or know someone who has please visit our website for helpful resources: https://brnw.ch/21wEtyc
