Our Ipswich Out and About group had a fantastic day exploring West Stow Anglo-Saxon Village. They stepped back in time through the reconstructed village, learned more about early history, and enjoyed seeing the rare breed pigs and chickens up close.

At a recent feedback session at Day Opportunities Cambridge, customers shared how they prefer to give feedback about the centre.

They were offered three options:
📱 Completing feedback on a tablet
😊 Using coloured emoji-style faces to show how they feel
📝 Filling in an easy-read form

The tablet was the clear favourite, followed by the emoji faces, while no one chose the paper forms. It’s great to see digital and visual options helping people share their views in ways that work best for them!

Exciting things are happening at our South Cambridgeshire Day Opportunities service! 🎭✨

Our customers are thrilled to share that their drama production is now in its early stages, and script writing has officially begun 🙂

This beautiful story explores two worlds coming together, building acceptance, confidence, and discovering a place in a different world. Sophia, Cally, and Tom couldn’t wait to start planning, creating, and bringing their ideas to life 🙂

Papworth Trust welcomes a Select Committee report published today into Disability at Work: Employment support for disabled people. https://committees.parliament.uk/committee/164/work-and-pensions-committee/news/213607/mps-call-for-twoweek-response-deadline-from-employers-to-disabled-workers-requests-for-adjustments/

The inquiry which began its work in July 2025 has made several recommendations including the turnaround times for reasonable adjustments, ensuring recruitment practices are accessible, rolling out disability inclusion training for line managers and running disability awareness raising media campaigns.

Nicola Whiteman, Policy and Communications Manager, who gave oral evidence to the Select Committee said:
“Despite much progress over the years, misconceptions about employing disabled people still persist. Employers remain anxious about employing disabled people and many recruitment processes continue to be inaccessible and need improving.”

“Disability awareness is increasing, but this isn't always filtering down to recruiting managers. We do see some good practices of flexible recruitment processes including publishing interview questions ahead of time or allowing videos to be submitted rather than a CV; but they’re the exception rather than the default position. These simple measures have such a positive impact and support a candidate to showcase the best version of themselves.”
