21andsensory Podcast Emily @21andsensory

On todays show I have the lovely Louise and Fiona. Both Louise and Fiona work for the Wilf Ward Family Trust - they are part of a wider team of 900 people that support almost 300 individuals with learning disabilities across Yorkshire. It was founded in 1986 by Wilf and Phyllis Ward to give relief to carers through the provision of residential respite units and day facilities. 
Since then they have grown providing more than 70 residential and supported living services for adults with profound learning and physical disabilities. Louise works as Head of Co Production and Fiona as the Interim Head of Complex Care.
