erya
Truro
Erya is a Cornish word meaning to challenge and fly in the face of, which we
think perfectly sums up our commitment to advocacy, learning, training and
development to support people to live the lives they choose. We are a Community
Interest Company established in 2015, run by and for people with the label of a
learning disability, people who access services and carers. We challenge,
celebrate and innovate Health and Social Care provision across Cornwall. We do
this through advocacy, learning, training and development but also by organising
social events so that people have an opportunity to meet friends, form
relationships or just spend time together – something that we can often take for
granted or hopefully not so much after COVID-19. We work in partnership with
organisations throughout the South West who share our commitment, values and
vision. The photo is taken from our annual Sparkles Ball (the highlight of our
year!) Samantha Barnett (the one with the bow tie) Deborah Thomas (the one in
the middle) and Sam Gillham (the one hiding in the background).
