BBC Morning Live interviews people from Mencap Me Time

💼86% of people with a learning disability who can work, want to. Yet, only 5% are in paid employment.    This #LearningDisabilityWeek2025, BBC Morning Live visited Islington Me Time, a Mencap community led social group that helps people with a learning disability develop skills and confidence, and get involved in their community.   They share how they want to work, but are often overlooked by employers.   💬About Me Time, Jackie O'Sullivan, Executive Director of Strategy and Influence at Mencap, says: "It's giving people meaningful activity, the opportunity for socialisation, turning up on time, interpersonal skills so that when people are ready to go into the workplace, they can make that transfer as smooth as possible."   👉Learn more about Me Time groups on our website: https://brnw.ch/21wTwT1   #DoYouSeeMe #LearningDisabilityWeek2025 Video description: Members of Islington Me Time and Jackie O'Sullivan tell BBC Morning Live about the barriers to employment that people with  a learning disability face.
