And we are really proud of that. The funding will enable us to continue to: Challenge the structural barriers that prevent people with &lsquo;learning disability&rsquo; or &lsquo;autism&rsquo; labels having equal access to education, work and housing. We will continue investing in developing this community&rsquo;s capacity to ensure equal access to everything it has to offer and to do so because it is socially just. We will also develop our approach to campaigning to maximise our social impact.&rdquo;</span></div><hr style="width:100%;clear:both;visibility:hidden;"><div><div id="825573258956457152" align="center" style="width: 100%; overflow-y: hidden;" class="wcustomhtml"><iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/sthhg0ktX7Q?si=J2JwZUeWUe1iwRqb" title="YouTube video player" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" referrerpolicy="strict-origin-when-cross-origin" allowfullscreen></iframe></div></div>]]></content:encoded></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Turning Tides Project: Welcome to our new page for 2023...]]></title><link><![CDATA[https://www.turningtidescic.org.uk/blogs/the-turning-tides-project-welcome-to-our-new-page-for-2023]]></link><comments><![CDATA[https://www.turningtidescic.org.uk/blogs/the-turning-tides-project-welcome-to-our-new-page-for-2023#comments]]></comments><pubDate>Tue, 29 Aug 2023 23:00:00 GMT</pubDate><category><![CDATA[Uncategorized]]></category><guid isPermaLink="false">https://www.turningtidescic.org.uk/blogs/the-turning-tides-project-welcome-to-our-new-page-for-2023</guid><description><![CDATA[Let's keep this nice and brief...We have heard your feedback and agree it is time for a new website.Something simpler, easier to navigate and maintain, more accessible, more approachable and more 'us'.This is the start of that... we will keep working behind the scenes to introduce some more accessibilty features.Equal access takes time - the first step is trying.
