United Response

New podcast episodes drop every Tuesday, so have a read here of how it all came together: buff.ly/tIlaL2q

Based at the Old Eight Bells community hub, the idea came from the team and the people we support themselves. Despite not having any podcast-making experience, they secured funding from the Learning Disabilities and Autism Programme at NHS Nottingham and Nottinghamshire Integrated Care Board!

Something exciting has just launched at The Old Eight Bells in Mansfield… 🎙️

Our team and the people we support have created a brand new podcast called Our Voice, Our Journey! This podcast is a space to share real stories and experiences in a very dynamic way.

Amazing work, Paul - thank you for going the extra mile to support United Response.

We’re blown away by the support he’s shown and can’t wait to cheer him on as he crosses the finish line on race day.

Here's a few photos from his recent training, including a half-marathon he completed this weekend alongside our CEO, Kate Terroni, who happens to be his wife!

Today we're giving a huge shoutout to Paul, one of the incredible people running the London Marathon on our behalf, who hasn't just smashed his fundraising target of £2,200 - he's surpassed it! 👏

Thank you for the compassion, dedication and impact you bring to your work and to the people we support.

Flick through to hear from a few of these amazing women, and what this day means to them.
