Mental health matters, and it affects us all. Today marks World Mental Health Day and World Inclusion Day, we’re standing for empathy, understanding, and inclusion.​

Because living well isn’t just about physical health; it’s about feeling connected, supported, and valued in the communities we love.​

With a little patience, kindness, and compassion, we can all make a difference. 💙 Let’s keep the conversation going: It’s okay to ask for help. It’s okay to not be okay.​

Today, we celebrate the strength and individuality of people living with Cerebral Palsy, a condition that affects movement, walking and communication.

We’re proud to support Penny and Esi, two remarkable individuals who live with CP and continue to thrive in the homes and communities they love. Their stories remind us that with the right support, people can live well, independently, and with purpose.​

Their message is clear: Don’t let anyone tell you what you can’t do. 💜​

Let’s stand together to raise awareness, challenge stigma, and celebrate the power of inclusion.​

As a live-in carer, Rita finds meaning in every day. Here’s how her journey began:​

🗣 “It was a combination of personal fulfilment and to make a positive difference in people’s lives. Meeting different people from all walks of life and listening to their stories. Everyone has a unique story and experience to share.”​

Each day is different, although some activities may be the same:​
🗣 “Supporting daily living activities... Preparing meals, housekeeping, administering medication, and any other duties... it gives me the opportunity to build a relationship with them and in turn I get job satisfaction.”​

💬 “I was very excited about joining the company, the training that they offer us as carers has been very effective in developing my skills and knowledge.”​

Thank you, Rita, for sharing your journey 💜​
