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.

They also hear about the wider work of One Fylde, including Tune-Ability, the café, recycling, the craft group and gardening. The conversation explores why individuals with a learning disability or autism should have the chance to share their voices, tell their own stories and celebrate their achievements.

A Month of Growth, Awards and Opportunity

In this episode of Voices of One Fylde, Marilyn and Rebecca sit down with One Fylde CEO Tracey Bush to reflect on a busy and exciting period across the organisation and Tune Ability.  They look back on winning the Technology Award at the Markel 3rd Sector Care Awards, share their own experience of the day in Birmingham, and explore what that recognition means for the people behind the microphone.  The conversation covers the continued growth of Tune Ability, including work at The Harbour, new opportunities through Connectiverse at The Manor, and an invitation to present at Lancaster University.  Tracey also reflects on company events looking at the importance of giving people a voice, making information accessible, and supporting independence in everyday life — from housing choices to building confidence in the community.  There’s discussion around community events, partnerships with Barons Furniture & Lytham Festival, enterprise opportunities, fundraising efforts, and what it means to create purpose and belonging for the people One Fylde supports.  A wide-ranging and uplifting conversation that highlights how inclusion, creativity and opportunity are shaping the future of Tune Ability and One Fylde.

Changes to Disability Benefits – What It Could Mean

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