Sadly we are to say goodbye to our good
friend
Martin Jackaman at the beginning
of September.  Martin has been working in
the field of
learning disabilities for almost
40 years.
 He will be missed by colleagues,
friends and especially the many carers he
has helped over the years.  He recently
became famous when he won
The
Guardian Public Servant of the Year
in
2007 for his tireless work in promoting
accessible toilets and setting up
Changing
Places.
 There are now three Changing
Places toilets in the city and more planned
to open soon.  Even though Martin is
retiring he will be continuing his work with
Changing Places across the country with
Royal Mencap.
Nottingham Mencap had our own awards
ceremony for Martin when we presented
him with a comemerative toilet brush
thanking him for all his support throughout
the years.

Places click on the link above  
Congratulations and a big thank you to Jane, Laura, Claire, Steve and
Megan for doing the skydive and raising money for Nottingham Mencap.
After the initial date got cancelled due to strong winds they finally got
the thumbs up on Sunday 11th July.
