It's not everyday you get the chance to entertain guests at the House of Lords, so we were delighted, honoured and humbled by the opportunity presented to us by one of our Patrons, Lord Alf Dubs.
The event was a chance to highlight how Share is using technology to revolutionise how our students live, learn and communicate. This work, which integrates many streams of Share's work, including independent living skills and healthy living, was showcased in a film called Edmond's Potato, which we were able to premiere during the evening.

Great Brownie Bake Off for the Learning Disability Today Exhibition and Conference 2016!
Share exhibited at the Learning Disability Today Exhibition and Conference on 29th November 2016.
It was great to see so many new and familiar faces at the event, which also gave us a wonderful opportunity to showcase our healthy living project in our very own 'Great Brownie Bake Off'.
Visitors to the Share stand were able to pick up a bag of Sweet Potato Brownies (too good to Share!), specially prepared and packaged for the event by Share students. A healthy irresistable treat made with two of your 'five a day', no sugar, and gluten-free too!
Going by the comments we had back at the event, we think the Share Brownies went down a storm!
