The profit from this event will be donated to one of the LDN Connect social groups: Our Lives. This is a new project for older people with learning disabilities and dementia meeting weekly, to look at reminiscence and well-being. Thank you to everyone who attend and made this event a great success.
The finger food was prepared and served by the Yhum Yhums with advice from Stephen Carter Chef of Boodles Club. The Yhum Yhums are a team of service users who, after attending our ‘Come Dine with Us’ course where they learnt food hygiene and cooking skills, have set up a social enterprise catering service for events.
The Westminster Society is calling for health equality for people with learning disabilities to ensure they have access to regular Covid-19 testing, and that vaccines are made available on an equitable basis alongside people living in elderly and nursing care facilities.
