Support that connects, builds independence and challenges you to do even more.
Life is about more than a support provider it's about living.

At the recent Self Directed Support global meet up we talked about outcomes and impact.
We had some challenging discussions around how meaningful and realistic measurement is.
Does outcome measurement get in the way of impactful support?

At our recent Member Voice meet up we talked about words that we use in social care.
One of the words that we didn't like was 'assessment'. In KeyRing we use that word a lot. But people said it felt a bit one sided.
Time for a rethink.

So excited for our first Member voice meet up. A bit nervous too as the plan is relaxed. (We want to build it with people not from our desks).

This month we have our first Member meeting to discuss gloriously ordinary language. People supported by KeyRing will tell us words that make them shudder and share words they prefer.
This is all part of people leading a life that is about more than support and the labels we stick on.

Just back from a quick personal care break to our Gloriously Ordinary Language day. Accessing our community is scheduled for 12.30 where we will mobilise with a walk to the local park.
Challenging behaviour us? Never!

It was great to connect with other @assocmhp.bsky.social members to discuss the value of the Providers Unite movement and our commitment to getting the message right. Social Care is a core part of connection, community and prevention.

In the spirit of community, connection and just getting on with it.
KeyRing Helping Hands is a project where Members (people who draw on our support) help each other.
They've done decluttering, shed building, holiday planning, meal making, decorating.
All because someone said let's do it.

Hurrah, we found in the settings that you can force alt text for any posts with images.
That is good news for those of who have trigger happy fingers (ahem we may be guilty of this once or twice). A small step for accessibility but we'll take it.
