We are looking for a new treasurer - you don't have to be an accountant or a financial guru, just interested in the nuts and bolts of how a company runs. You will be joining a great board of interested and invested trustees.

Image shows statement of leaving twitter for a bit. Text on image reads it’s goodbye for now…. As a values based organisation, we believe in choice and control, community and co-production. It’s becoming increasingly more difficult for us to find our space on X. We can’t find the kindness and inclusivity that match our values. We appreciate all the connections we’ve made on this platform and would love to keep these going. Do come find us on LinkedIn or out other social media platforms.

Thinking of coming off X - it just isn't a very kind place anymore. @Camerados_org @DisRightsUK would love to hear your thoughts.

Replying to @WILTSCIL @Camerados_org @DisRightsUK
Its been a great place for us over the years, and we have met many friends and like minded people, but since the change of regime it just feels like it exists to amplify angry people's voices and doesn't feel safe.

“Having a Direct Payment isn’t a bed of roses, it’s hard work at times and frustrating. However, a Direct Payment when it works is brilliant. The choice and control it gives me means it enables me to live my life the way I want” #getinvolved #wiltspioneerss #disabilitypride

We love to hear how working with a Community Connector empowers people to reach their goals and builds their confidence. Like the last key message says ‘Communities are people not places’ #WiltsPioneers #GetInvolved #TheBarriersWeFace #WheelchairLife #ActuallyAutistic

✨Key Message Moment✨ Being part of a community looks different for everyone. For some, it might be going out, for others, it could be online. Making things safe and accessible empowers disabled people to play an active and valued role in their communities.
