Voices of One Fylde – Lytham Festival Edition

Bernard popped into the studio to share his excitement ahead of a day at Lytham Festival, where he'll be helping collect donations for One Fylde.  From talking about dancing, meeting people and enjoying the atmosphere, to wondering what food he'll be eating and making everyone laugh along the way, Bernard's enthusiasm is impossible not to smile at. It's a lovely conversation that captures the excitement of being part of one of the Fylde Coast's biggest events and the pride our members take in supporting their community. If you're heading to Lytham Festival, keep an eye out for the One Fylde team and, if you're able, please consider making a donation. Every pound helps us create more opportunities for adults with learning disabilities and autism across Blackpool, Fylde and Wyre.

Changes to Disability Benefits – What It Could Mean

This episode is about understanding, awareness, and making sure disabled voices are part of the conversation.
