Volunteer Jamie attended the launch of Pembrokeshire People First's Dream Team Learning Disability Charter at HaverHub.

The event opened up with a speech by Delme Harries from Pembrokeshire County Council.

The Dream Team then delivered a presentation on the history of the charter and what is included in the new and updated charter.

We were then treated to a performance by Take A Bow (Arts Care Gofal Celf Projects) that was informative, energetic and inspiring.

We're looking forward to seeing the brand new charter.

The toolkit focuses on people with learning disabilities moving into their own home after discharge from hospital. It uses a strong foundation to help them live in their home and be independent.

A very useful resource that will help people live their best life.

A reminder to all volunteers/members/staff to keep cool and hydrated over the next few days due to the high temperatures.

I got myself a Frappe to keep me cool. What are you doing to keep yourself cool?
