Listen along as our members share their thoughts on the summer, their plans and their memories from past years. Pull up a deckchair, grab a cold drink (or tea, if that's your style!) and lean back with the best summ anthems. Everybody loves the sunshine!

UF Radio - July 2022: "Our Right to Learn"

Changes are afoot that will remove the rights of students with learning disabilities to go to college. Instead, they are being asked to go to day centres that are run by the council. Community integration, which is so important, will go. Is this fair? Are you affected by this change? Did you go to college? We want to hear from you so you can tell us what you think about this. How important was it or is it for you? Get your voice heard with the UF Radio crew to challenge this move.
UF Radio - June 2022: "Proud to be Me"

The show this month is linked with Mencap’s Learning Disability Week from June 20th - 26th 2022, looking at what life is like living with a learning disability. The group started by discussing their identity or what makes you, you. We then talked about whether they see themselves as someone with a learning disability. Is the label working for them as individuals? We finished the discussion with a nod to Pride month by asking each person what they were proud of about themselves.
