This is a great local resource in the area to those with small children. Please think hard before you remove this resource. We get a lot of rain here and it’s ideal for when the weather is bad. There are very few places for little ones in the Conwy Valley. Make the right decision and you’ll gain a lot more local support
I feel very passionately about the rights of people with learning disabilities and autism,I have an invisible disability and and I am autistic,i have had difficulties at school and in the early days of the Camphill Community,where i have lived for nearly thirty-six years,I had counselling with psychologists twice because of insensitive support,I have brilliant support,lovely family,church and friends.i want to make a difference.
I have learning difficulties and I was sectioned 3 times for speaking out against abuse. It is NOT ok! I am currently on depot injection and being told by my mental health team that it’s “part of my mental health diagnosis” to believe I’m being abused. This is so wrong! The depot injection has caused has made me gain weight that’s difficult to lose as well as changed my entire feminine facial features to become masculine looking. I don’t know what’s in this injection but it’s not right, I don’t feel right and I feel WORSE than before I was ever on it. We must END the abuse of mental health hospitals and general abuse in ALL forms against people with autism and learning difficulties!!!
My wife is 78 and, only for the fact that we took part in the NHS Galleri trial which was set up to provide early cancer diagnosis, she was fortunate to have her early hormonal breast cancer identified in March this year and then fast tracked to see a breast consultant/surgeon to have a successful mastectomy operation in June. If this had not been the case then who knows what the outcome might have been!
I’d just assumed that a mammogram wasn’t necessary after 71 and wouldn’t have asked for one. If the petition achieves nothing else, you will have alerted many people. Thank you so much!
At 72 I was refused a mammogram and was told by doctor I didn't have a lump. I had a thickening. Turned out he was a trainee and my wonderful doctor picked it up. Within weeks I had operation and straight onto chemo. Don't take no for an answer.
When I was diagnosed last year 2023, I was 73 and hadn't had a screening since I was 67 as the invite automatically stopped on my 70th Birthday. I consider myself one of the lucky ones as I thought something was amiss and persisted with my GP.
