Calling all Advocates!! One of the best ways to talk about Citizen Advocacy is through partnership stories. We are looking for new partnership stories that we can share. If you would be interested in letting us tell your story then get in touch with your Development Worker.

#CitizenAdvocacy

Two words - "Citizen Advocates"

#KindnessMatters #FriendshipChangingLives #Volunteers #FridayVibes

"Inclusion is about everyone, no matter who they are, where they come from or what they look like, being able to take part in life without having to worry about how they fit in. It's about making sure that everyone feels part of something and not singled out or put in a box."

#NationalInclusionWeek

"Inclusion means making sure everyone gets a seat at the table, no matter their background, ability or voice. It’s about standing up for each other and making sure no one’s left out. Citizen Advocacy thrives on inclusion."

#CitizenAdvocacy #Advocacy #Fife #NationalInclusionWeek

No matter what's happening in our lives, somebody else has more #Challenges 💙

No matter how difficult, let's #BeKindAlways 💛

To any person you're kind to, it could be the best part of their day 💙 You can do it 💛

#Advocacy 💙💛

Continuing with #NationalInclusionWeek we asked Administrator Tricia what #Inclusion means to her.

"Inclusion for me means to feel part of something, a sense of belonging. Whether this is part of a family, a community, a group or society as a whole..."

This week we see #NationalInclusionWeek being celebrated across Social Media.

When we asked Development Worker Margaret what inclusion meant to her, this is what she had to say (see graphic).

Yesterday afternoon Development Worker Amy met with Citizen Advocate Charlotte at Lochore Meadows Country Park for an annual review catch up.

Seems they had the whole place to themselves! Charlotte often goes there with her partner to walk their dogs.

What's your favourite thing about this time of year?

#September #October #November #December #CitizenAdvocacy #Autumn

Scottish Learning Disability Week is a time to celebrate people with learning disabilities. This year, people with learning disabilities have said they often feel excluded. That’s why the theme for 2025 is: “I Am Here”
