Last week a team from the company Hammerson ran a sports day for our Community Hub. 🏐

There was some friendly competition between the Orange and Green teams. There were lots of fun games, including the classic egg and spoon race. 🥄

It came right down to the end. The Green team and Orange team were on 6-6... and George won it for the Greens in the shootout!

A big thank you to all the volunteers from Hammerson who took the time to join us and organise the day. Thank you to Marble Arch London BID as well for your support.

One of the best parts of our Dragon boat Race is so many people from LDN London contributed. As well as the companies taking part, people we support, family members and our staff were involved in lots of ways.

We had two LDN team boats: Hubsters at Sea and The Rowing Stones. 🚣🏿‍♀️🚣🏼

Our catering trainees at LDN Eats were selling delicious cold drinks and snacks.

Some of our Hub members served coffee with Becauze CiC. ☕

And our staff and trustees also volunteered so it was smooth sailing! Thank you, team.

Our Community Hub members were pleased to have some of the Transport for London team come in to speak with them last week. 🚅 🚌

People we support are looking forward to giving TfL feedback to make transport in London as accessible as possible for people with learning disabilities. ♿

LDN London trustee Jim Blair has written this article for Learning Disability Today.

He discusses LDN London's work around the health risk register. This means we are documenting the health needs of people we support and risks to their health.

This is helping us provide more person-centred support, see patterns in people’s health needs, and take positive steps to support people to live healthier lives.

The health risk register created by Learning Disability Network London is helping to improve the health, wellbeing, and lives of people with learning disabilities.

In Camden our Men's Group had a session for mental health awareness week. The guys talked about their feelings and had an open and honest conversation. 💬🙂

These are monthly groups and the participants have been building a good bond with each other. There is a sense of community. That is also great for people's wellbeing.

Sometimes the group also enjoy playing dominoes, and like to chat about football and James Bond movies! 🕵‍♀

The full list of teams is here for our Dragon Boat Race Day on Friday!! 🐲🚣🏻‍♀️ We're very excited to see everyone on the water.

Who are you cheering for? Perhaps LDN London's teams The Rowing Stones and 'Hubsters at Sea'. Let us know which is your favourite name in the comments. 👇

All the teams are raising money for our Family Support service. Your support is really important. It means we can continue to offer free to access advice and support to the families of children with SEND. We see how life-changing for families to have this help through the SEND process. 🙏
