Taking Action Together: A Good Lives Update
A blog from the Learning Disability England Membership and Engagement Lead’s
Its been a year and a half, 2 annual conferences and over 50 meetings with members and partners since we launched Good Lives.
As the Membership and Engagement Leads we wanted to share what has happening and what is next.
Its been amazing to see people coming together to get involved in Good Lives and using to it take action on our shared vision for a good life for people with learning disabilities.
Members have been doing all sorts of things:
- United Pride Friends and U-Night Group shared vlogs about why the To Love and Be Loved chapter is so important, especially to LGBT+ people with a learning disability.
- NIHR Applied Research Collaboration Kent Surrey and Sussex have set up a Good Lives, Learning Disability Research Network
- Bild for the Future have been thinking about what a chapter on health might look like. There will be a some opportunities to be part of that thinking so keep an eye out!
These are just a few examples, thank you to everyone who has been making Good Lives their own.
