Today, on National Bereaved Parents Day, we honour and remember parents who have experienced the unimaginable loss of a child. This day serves as a reminder of their strength and the importance of offering support and understanding. Our library offers a quiet space for reflection and a selection of resources to help navigate this difficult journey.

Exercising your voting rights this General Election
Everyone has the right to vote, including people with mental illness. Voting empowers individuals and influences policies that affect mental health services. Let’s support accessible voting for all, ensuring every voice is heard.
Anyone working in a mental health service with people over 18 can help ensure that their clients, patients and service users are able to vote in this General Election. Simple adjustments, conversations, reassurance and support can make a big difference.
Learning Disability Week 2024
Learning Disability Week 2024 is a time to celebrate, educate, and advocate for the rights and inclusion of individuals with learning disabilities. This year’s theme, “Do you see me?” is about challenging the barriers people with a learning disability face.
This week offers an opportunity to break down barriers, share stories of resilience, and promote understanding. By raising awareness, promoting inclusive education and workplaces, and supporting advocacy, we can create a world where everyone feels valued and included.
Let’s use Learning Disability Week 2024 to foster positive change and greater understanding. Together, we can make a difference.
