For anti-bullying week (12-18 November 2018), Beyond Words’ Books and Training Adviser Vivian has reviewed our story ‘Mugged’.

The clocks have gone back and the nights are beginning to draw in, but our newsletter, jam-packed with news and offers, is here to brighten up your day!

Last week, Vivian (Books and Training Adviser) and Nick (CEO) had the pleasure of meeting with Gladys Kyotungire – a former Miss Uganda and passionate activist for the Ugandans United to End Child Sacrifice campaign.

Becky Skipwith, Beyond Words’ Managing Editor, writes that we should be using all the tools at our disposal to support people with learning disabilities to access good quality health care.

 It’s about being heard and listening, not being ignored and being valued.

It talks about feelings and emotions. People don’t show their feelings enough. If you keep it inside it will all boil up. You can’t be hard as nails.

Four new picture books have been published by independent charitable publisher Beyond Words to help people to think about and explore ideas around work and volunteering.

The latest addition to the Books Beyond Words series, Belonging, was launched on 19 March at a symposium event with Access All Areas theatre company in Shoreditch Town Hall, London.
