Hello,
It’s been another few exciting months for My Life My Choice!
On 16th November, we held our AGM. Members elected the new trustees for the year 2023-24 and celebrated with a silent disco! It was great to see some new faces elected to the board amongst our experienced trustees.
The Don’t Lock Us Away campaign has seen great progress. Alongside Inclusion London, we ran the first meeting for a new self-advocacy network focused on getting people out of hospitals. Champions Pam and Shaunie spoke on deinstitutionalisation at a national learning disability conference, and trustee Ben was featured in the Times! If you have a subscription to the Times, you can read the article here.
We were also delighted to hear the news that rail ticket offices will be staying open after adamant campaigning from our Champions and other advocacy groups. Congratulations to our Champions on all their hard work.
All of this success could not happen without our dedicated members and committed supporters, so a huge thank you to you all!
