On Friday, June 21st, Support Unlimited UK held a celebratory event at Christchurch Park to commemorate Learning Disabilities Awareness Week 2024. Support Unlimited UK, a local organization dedicated to providing specialist support services for individuals with learning disabilities, autistic persons, and people with various mental health conditions, hosted this event.
Polly the Registered Manager for Support Unlimited UK received an invitation to attend a prestigious event at No 10, and the agenda for the day was ‘’Reception for Adult Social Care Workers’ on the 17th of August 2023.
As I have been writing this article, I have further realised how truly awesome my staff team are! Considering our non-conventional homecare support model has allowed me to clearly see how emotionally, physically, and mentally demanding the delivery of complex care and support can be. Our work is 24 hours a day - the office may close at 5pm, but we work around-the-clock. Our team is made up of Registered Nurses, Administrators, Educators and Support Staff who understand that they are more than support workers: they are the difference between a client being able to remain safe and well at home or having to be cared for in hospital or other community institution. A huge thank you to my team.
