I have some sad news. The lovely Richard Parry who was Secretary of SUGGEST for many years passed away last night in his sleep. Many people will remember him sat outside his flat at Scotch Corner in Eccles always in the sun on a fine day. He moved back to his home town of Worksop a few years ago. Always had a laugh & told a cheeky joke or two - loved his curry & Sky TV. Bless you Richard.

Alex here. For those of you that don't know, today is my last day working for SUGGEST. Where am I going? I have a new job helping companies set up salary sacrifice schemes so that employers can reward their staff with mobile's, pc's, laptops, childcare vouchers etc. I wanted to say 'thank you all' for being so supportive over the last ten years (that's a quarter of my life!). Working with you all has been a pleasure and privilege. I wish you all the very best and will definitely keep in touch. :D

Take a look at page 42 of today's Daily Mail. An elderly gent was taken to a tribunal because he cut his worker's hours after his wife died. Be very careful before changing your PA's working arrangements, whatever the circumstances. Ask SUGGEST first!

Hey my name is Jenny and I get direct payments. I have a dog that acts like a human called Chester. I love drama and doing poems. I hate to see people in trouble and I'm usually the first to lend a hand. I do find some things challenging as my legs are no good to anyone! BUT if there's a will, there's a way. I strongly believe in my saying.... "you are who you not what you want to be"

Hi I’m Chris
I’ve had a varied working life, I’ve been a childminder, dinner lady, social security inspector, production line worker at the HP sauce factory (that was a smelly one!) and a few others! Life is about variety, and since I’ve worked for SUGGEST there has been plenty!
My home life is fairly quiet now that my sons have grown up & left home, but I do miss them. I’ve just rediscovered knitting, but I’ve forgotten how complicated it can be – and I can’t watch Downton Abbey at the same time.
As co-ordinator my job is to help you to manage your care support, and to find the best way to spend your budget. It doesn’t matter whether you are local authority funded, or you pay yourself, if you need to employ care workers I can help you to figure out what’s best for you. Just phone, email or text me.

Hi, my name is Alex. I am SUGGEST's Development Officer and I have created this page so that you can add stories and photos of what you get upto with your care staff/personal assistants. Obviously, this is a family page so rude pictures not allowed. Fun is allowed however, so if you have done something interesting and wish to share with others feel free. Ps I was at the cinema watching a 3D film... if your wondering.

Hi, my name is Vince and I am the Vice Chair of SUGGEST's Management Committee. I give up my time to do this because I care about my fellow disabled citizens. SUGGEST is the future for people with disabilities in Salford and the North West.
