A group of dedicated people with learning disabilities from Ceredigion, Pembrokeshire and Carmarthenshire have launched a list of things they expect and need to live fulfilling lives.

My Charter was launched at the Pembrokeshire County Show, and the group received a surprise visit from the First Minister, Mark Drakeford, who signed up on the spot!

My Charter is the brainchild of people with learning disabilities in Ceredigion, Pembrokeshire and Carmarthenshire and who, over five years, have worked together to develop a charter – a simple list of things they expect, and need, to live fulfilling lives.

And the project is being taken forward by the Dream Team, a committed band of individuals determined to push forward real change.

James Dash, the Dream Team’s chair, said: “My Charter brings together our rights, our needs, and our wants, in a simple document aimed at everyone in our community.

“It covers crucial areas like support, health and relationships, and brings them all together in a document anyone can – and should – sign up to.”
