Swansea People First

Hello! My name is Andrew Evans and I am a member of Swansea People First, an organisation of and for adults with learning disabilities that runs an advocacy project about Health and Well-Being in Swansea.

Welcome to our new blog about what we have been up to and what myself and other adults with a learning disability think about how we are treated and how we think we can make things better.

We have been very busy the last few months at and I have been working hard as Project Support Worker.

I really enjoyed doing 'The Leadership Course' with Mark and Glayne from All Wales People First. The best part was going up to the Welsh Assembly Senedd with Daniel (the Project Administrator) to spend a day with Dr Dai Lloyd AM.

My favourite bit of the year though has to be the Annual Health Fair on July 3rd 2009 at the Liberty Stadium in Swansea. I Especially liked the fashion show in which I modelled clothes from Bon Marche and Peacocks. It was a great day.






I am also going to be a co-trainer on the Leadership Course which 9 service users from Fforestfach Work Development Project will be doing with Lynn from Swansea People First and Pam (Tutor from Gorseinon College).


I am Looking forward to it :)

Speak to you again soon!

Andrew
