Learning Disability Week is a moment to pause and reflect, but it’s also a celebration: of identity, of individuality and the many ways people with learning disabilities enrich our communities. 💛

We asked some of the people we support to share the things they love to do and their achievements. Today we hear from Stuart, who tell us how much he enjoys taking part in the new upcycling project at Acorns Day Opportunities and how proud it makes him feel.♻️✨
