Welcome to the Ategi Perspective newsletter, updating you on all things Ategi and social care.

Ategi is striving to become a climate-conscious organisation that considers and acts to reduce the environmental impact of the essential services they provide. 

How do we support people? What do we offer? How do we offer it? What does successful support look like? To answer these questions Ategi have started a collaboration with the MayDay Trust.  This is the first of a series of blogs that we’ll be sharing where we explore this collaboration and our process.      

Read the blog to find out more.

Support Circles are recruiting! We're looking for our first Volunteer Facilitator - This person will help facilitate our first volunteer circle with people with learning disabilities & our first group of Peer Support Volunteers (6-8) - For our first circle, these peer support volunteers will be adults with learning disabilities who are able to join a weekly group in Pontypridd.

They will build on their own strengths and work together towards shared goals, developing skills and confidence and enhancing their wellbeing.

Ategi is delighted to announce that the Thornbury Orchestra fundraising concert raised a fantastic £520.20 for Ategi!

In this blog, for Learning Disability Week, we explore why volunteering can we so powerful for people with learning disabilities and why it should be encouraged.

Learning Disability Week is all about busting myths about what it's like to live with a learning disability.  We wanted to highlight some common misconceptions people have about people with learning disabilities...

Ategi has been awarded funding to start a 1-2 year project, called Support Circles. The idea behind the project is to provide a space where adults with additional needs provide peer-support to each other, to learn new skills and gain valuable experiences and confidence.
