We're Only Making Plans For Nigel......

People with a learning disability and autism have helped co-produce a hard-hitting video to get their ‘work with us, not for us’ message across. It is about them being the experts on their own lives and what good support looks like.

The video, Making Plans For Nigel, named after and featuring a 1979 hit single by wacky powerpop band XTC, aims to show the way that some disabled people are often labelled against their will, patronised and not listened to.

It has been posted on YouTube by NHS North Cumbria Clinical Commissioning Group. You can watch it here.

Disability Sheffield is a forward-thinking, energetic organisation doing a lot of positive work in Sheffield. I have no doubt they will continue to do so for a long time to come.

A fantastic presentation thought provoking and good questions from the floor around promoting this film/message to the general public not just professionals.

When I moved to Sheffield nearly five years ago it was my "go to" organisation. I expect it to stay that way. All the staff and volunteers seem to pull out little gems of effort that disabled people like me couldn't do without. Professionally and personally - I love em :)
