HEALTH ACTION PLAN TRAINING
ON WEDNESDAY AUGUST 4TH WE ARE HOSTING A HEALTH ACTION PLAN TRAINING DAY FOR OUR MEMBERS AND CARERS. If you would like more info please call Cherry on 0207 3666336

This year we have been out and about talking to people ad going to meetings about making things better and fairer for women with learning difficulties. It is important that we go because we feel that women face further discrimination. We went to the Living Forum Group, Health Task Group, People First Conference at City Hall regarding the Equality Bill, and Campaigned during Learning Disability Week.
Members are also busy making sure that people who work for the NHS, Greater London Authority and more hear our voice.

Members of the Powerhouse all come from different cultures, backgrounds and ages and yet we are all friends. We have the two Theresa’s who love Reggae, Kim who loves sport, Gusharen who is has a brilliant laugh. We will be using this section for you to meet our fabulous members!
