Social action

If you have a few minutes

• Send a card, postcard, or message to our services: Could you make someone’s day? We’re asking people to send a message to our services to help the people who live there to feel more connected. We can’t guarantee a response, but do add your address if you would like one. Find your closest service

• Activities, games, and resources for groups — Some of our inclusive games and disability activities can be used for virtual meetings. Share the activities with groups.
