Story
We are 4 learning disability nursing students from the University of Cumbria. For LD awareness week, we will be holding a 2 day event on June 21/22. As well as raising awareness of the health and social inequalities people with learning disabilities still face, we decided to offer some experiential learning opportunities and challenges. This challenge that we are undertaking means that we cannot communicate using speech or written words between the hours of 10-3 on one of these days to demonstrate how difficult and frustrating this can be.If you think it’s easy, give it a try and join us in this challenge. We’d be really grateful for any sponsorship, which will be donated to Piccadilly support services to support the fantastic work that they do. Thanks for reading, Di, Jenny, Catriona and Rachel 😘
