Join us at the West Show on 14th August to find out if they've got what it bakes!

As part of Grow's 40th anniversary, we are seeking 40 Ace Bakers from local organisations to submit their best bakes for judging in support of GROW.
The catch? It has to involve a local culinary vegetable as one of the ingredients. 1/2

It’s #LearningDisabilityWeek This year #LDWeek is about challenging the barriers people with a learning disability face & celebrating the things people with a learning disability bring to society. Watch out for our ‘Do You See Me?’ Photos throughout the week @GuernseyMencap
It's #LearningDisabilityWeek! 💜
We want people with a learning disability to be seen.
Research shows that people with a learning disability have had enough of being ignored, mistreated, patronised - and, sometimes, even locked away.

ALT A purple graphic with four oatmeal coloured boxes on top. In each box there's a statistic relating to people with a learning disability. They read, twice as many people with a learning disability die avoidably than in the general population. One in five people in the UK have seen someone mocked because of their learning disability. 28% of people in the UK still believe that learning disability relates to a mental health problem. Disabled households need £975 a month to have the same standard of living as non-disabled households.

Excellent to see this in BMJ. It took campaigning by people with learning disabilities & those who love & support them to ensure glaring inequalities were addressed during Covid, but we can't be complacent. Keep shining the spotlight @KenCourtenay @chrishattoncedr @mencap_charity
