….. boy did we have the most fabulous guests in the studio today, the brilliant Katie Ellis, founder of The Able Label and her mother, Valerie.  Katie and her business is amazing – we learnt why Katie set it up and who it helps – everyone and anyone who has difficulty dressing or cares for someone and helps them dress.  Only focussing on ladies at the present but I’m sure Katie will be expanding into the male market and probably also maybe kiddies, the product idea is superb and can bring confidence and independence to many ladies’ dressing requirements.  If you wish to see Katie in person, she will be exhibiting/talking at the following:

Remember next week is also Parkinsons’ Awareness Week (18th – 24th April) – maybe we should all shout out about The Able Label and tag @ParkinsonsUK in our tweets?

Show 135 – March 21st

seApAdvocacyAngela was joined in the studio by Sarah Oakes (pictured here on the left) and Sarah Deason (on the right) from seAp Advoacy.  We learnt why they joined the charity and what “advocacy” really means and how they support and help people safeguard their rights.  Listen back to hear both Sarahs explain how seAp helps and also the news that with effect from 1st April 2016 there will be a new way to contact Advocacy services for adults in Kent.  If you are looking for help on PIP or ESA you may find their c-app really useful too.

If you wish to volunteer for this charity, do get in touch as they are always looking for volunteers.

Show 131 – February 22nd

CiLKCiLK-LogoWhat a delight it was to meet Hannah and Donna from CiLK.  After Jan met them at the Wellbeing Symposium last year, we popped along to interview them so we could shout about the great work they do.  They are such an inspiration to us all and CiLK offers great support for those who have a disability and want to live independent lives.  If you want to meet them in person, why not visit the next Wrinkly Roadshow on 11th March 2016 at Lenham Community Centre ME17 2QT (12-7pm), they’ll be there.
