Humans of Scotland will follow powerful and thought-provoking stories from ALLIANCE members and colleagues.
3 December saw the launch of our Humans of Scotland series which tied in with International Day of Persons with Disabilities (this link will take you away from our website).
This new initiative will span three weeks and showcase short stories about the everyday lives of the people we work with.
The ALLIANCE wanted to give the people we work with and who access support and services a visual platform to express their opinions on issues that they are passionate about. Their stories are the catalyst that operates the ethos of the ALLIANCE’s work and vision. Our hope is that this initiative will inspire, spark ideas and drive improvements of health and social care support and services.
Humans of Scotland stories will cover a wide range of different topics and help people understand some of the issues facing people who are disabled, living with long term conditions and unpaid carers. The stories will be shared via our social media channels, mainly Instagram and Facebook.
Make sure to keep an eye out on our Facebook page (this link will take you away from our website) and keep up to date with Humans of Scotland. All contributions are shared on the case study section of the ALLIANCE website
