I believe that @waitrose need to offer this young man a paid job.
This experience shows how in some circumstances "volunteering" and work placement schemes can exploit chronically ill, disabled and neurodivergent people.
This needs to stop.

Thought I would share the easy read manifestos. Shockingly (but not really) I can't find one for reform or the conservatives. Please do reply with a link if you can find a more accessible version of their manifestos.

Hi Mark, I've already spoken to Alison about popping back down to see the F2F crew again. I think I'm aiming for the coffee morning on 17th at the minute to help raise awareness of learning disability week, too.

FOOD URGENTLY NEEDED - 2023 has brought yet another surge in demand for our services here at Lichfield foodbank.
We desperately need basic tinned and packaged foods. We have plenty of baked beans, but we are short of all other foods.
Please help if you are able to. 💚
