SDS Awareness Week

15/04/2015

SDS awareness week ran from Mon 30th Mar to Fri 3rd Apr. There were events across Scotland to mark one year since the introduction of the Self-directed Support (SDS) Act.

AILN had a busy week. We had SDS advisors speaking on West FM and Irvine Beat radio stations, these aired on Monday, Tuesday and Thursday. We had our video screening all week on the giant Town Centre TV, at Bridgegate, Irvine. Big thanks must go to Jack and John at Town centre TV for making that run without a hiccup (weather excluded).

On Tuesday, some of our staff and board members were on hand to give out our new information leaflets to passers-by at Bridgegate and to answer questions about SDS. On the same day, Jen another of our SDS advisors, attended East Ayrshire Council’s ‘Everyone Together’ event at Shortlees Community Centre.

On Wednesday AILN attended South Ayrshire Council’s SDS Stakeholder’s event in the Town Chambers. Our manager Evelyn gave a presentation on our services and showed clips from our video. We heard loads of positive stories about the changes SDS has made to lives in Ayrshire so far and shared creative ideas on new ways to approach it in 2015.
