This afternoon was our first session back at @lcr_106.7fm making plans for our monthly @mencapliverpool Outreach Champions show "Reach Out". Our Outreach Champions are working hard to promote our organisation, raise awareness of learning disabilities and recruit new members. Everyone has been script writing this afternoon and we are really excited for our next show. Rachel is hoping to talk about employment and the reasonable adjustments her managers have put in place to help her thrive at her job @newmerseyshoppong Park. Did you know that less than 6% of people with a learning disability are in paid employment. Lewis is hoping to interview Dr Fiona Greeley about the Learning Disability Awareness Training that he delivers to year 4 student doctors @uniofliverpool2024 Tony will be talking about his walking group and Kevin is looking to interview Paul from @ASKCharityShop on the plans for 2025. Great work everyone! see you back next week! Read More

Yesterday our Outreach Champions welcomed Dez Chow, Patient Experience and Engagement Facilitator from @liverpoolwomens,,Vivien Mansfield, Learning Disabilities Health Care Facilitator from @merseycarenhsft and student nurse Nathania Kearney from @edgehilluniversity Dez had come to meet with us all to talk about how accessible the Liverpool Women's Hospitls is - from receiving a letter to invite someone in, to getting to the hospital, finding your way to the right place in the hospital, to staff making the reasonable adjustments people might need whilst they are there. Vivien explained about how having our Annual Health Checks and being on the Learning Disability Register would also improve our experience as patients in all the different hospitals we have. We welcomed our member Becs along. She joined our Outreach Champions meeting for the first time and we hope she will continue to come along and get involved with all the interesting and important things we are getting involved in. Thank you to everyone who came along and we can't wait to work with you all in 2025. Read More
