It's #SmallCharityWeek and today I'm shouting out a small charity that isn't in your 'neighbourhood' Because small charities are good at specialising and sometimes that's about meeting people in a localities needs - but sometimes it's about meeting the needs of communities that have unique experiences and are geographically dispersed. That's what we do at PDA Society PDA and it's also what one of my absolute favourite small national charities Sibs do. Siblings of disabled people are pretty forgotten really - in policy, in services, in public life. And it's not very fair, often in early life being a sibling of someone with high support needs means there is (through no lack of love, but purely logistically) less time and less concentrated attention on you. It can mean taking on a caring role for your sibling, or being their advocate and protector in the world - squeezing out the opportunity for them to be your partner in crime/ the most irritating person you know like in other sibling relationships. As you grow up you might know that their care (either directly or through advocating for them with care providers) is likely to pass to you when your parents can no longer do it. That there may come a time when you are caring for both them and your aging parents. And without Sibs there just wouldn't be anywhere to go to share those experiences, or to get support that specifically addresses the challenges you are facing. What Sibs does is unique. It's incredibly valuable and they do it on very little resource. It's the kind of charity we just can't afford to lose. If you are a sibling of a disabled person or know one you might want to check Sibs out.

A few places left if you want to join us. How can we all help the NHS to identify those people living with frailty and then support them? What do we mean by frailty and how can we start conversations with patients without upsetting them? Want to know more? Book your place today 👍

🎆 Happy 4th of July! Celebrate Safely! 🇺🇸 As we come together to celebrate Independence Day, let’s ensure we do so safely. Here are a few tips to keep in mind: 1. Fireworks Safety 🎇: Always follow local laws and guidelines. Leave the fireworks to the professionals and enjoy public displays instead of handling fireworks at home. 2. Grill with Care 🍔: Keep grills away from structures and overhanging branches. Never leave a grill unattended, and make sure to keep children and pets at a safe distance. 3. Hydrate 💧: Stay hydrated, especially if you’re spending the day outside. Drink plenty of water and avoid excessive alcohol consumption. 4. Sun Protection 🧴🕶️: Use sunscreen with at least SPF 30, wear hats and sunglasses, and seek shade during the peak sun hours between 10 AM and 4 PM. 5. Water Safety 🌊: If you’re planning to swim, ensure everyone knows how to swim, supervise children at all times, and never swim alone. 6. Stay Cool ❄️: Take breaks in the shade or air-conditioned areas to avoid heat-related illnesses. Let’s make this 4th of July a joyful and safe celebration for everyone! Wishing you a wonderful Independence Day! From the Keplar Family

It is never too early to have the “Talk of a Lifetime.” Planning ahead and making your wishes known for your final arrangements is a compassionate, loving gesture to your family and ensures that, upon your passing, your final wishes are carried out the way you want them to be. By taking the time to talk with your family and loved ones about what you want, you are giving them the gift of peace of mind that when you pass they won’t have to guess or wonder what you want. They will know because you have already laid it all out for them. Learn more. https://lnkd.in/dVaTNHn7
