Equal Futures were recently invited by Angela Gracie to talk to the team at the Council of Voluntary Organisations East Ayrshire. It was great to meet the team and let them know about the work we do and find out about what they do for communities throughout East Ayrshire.
Here at Equal Futures we are aiming to reduce social isolation and loneliness for people who have a learning disability or autism. To do this we rely on the kindness of people who have a few hours in their week that they can share with someone.
The family of a young Edinburgh woman who has seen her life transformed thanks to help from The William Quarrier Scottish Epilepsy Centre wants to highlight the importance of accessing specialised care.
If anyone would like to find out more about the project, please get in touch with Ekta at ekta@equalfutures.org.uk or Sarah at sarah@equalfutures.org.uk.
