💛 We love hearing from our #community. The kind words and feedback we receive mean so much to us. They remind us why we do what we do and help us continue to support people and families in the best way we can. Thank you to everyone who takes the time to share their experiences.

🩺 People with #LearningDisabilities may face more health challenges and may not always know when something is wrong. A yearly GP health check can help spot issues early. If you support someone, check they've had their #AnnualHealthCheck & have a #HealthActionPlan.

🌟 Happy January! A huge thank you to everyone who supported us in 2025 💛 We're looking forward to continued connection and support in 2026! on our website about: • Clubs & social groups • Supported living • Volunteering & jobs 👉 mencapinkirklees.org.uk
