We aim to help disabled people to live independently - where t hey choose\, how they want\, with all the support they need\, and with the money and resources they need to do it.\n\nThe name “Real” is not an acronym\, but it does stand for the real jobs\, real education\, real inco mes\, real choices\, and real participation in society that all disabled p eople deserve. Real does not exist to give disabled people jobs at Real\, but we do recognise that having disabled employees and volunteers is one o f our strengths because we are more likely to connect and have empathy wit h the people that we are supporting through shared experience.\n\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://thcvs.org.uk/wp-content/uploads/2022/02/ REAL.png CATEGORIES:Events in Tower Hamlets,Health and Wellbeing Events in Tower Hamlets END:VEVENT BEGIN:VTIMEZONE TZID:Europe/London X-LIC-LOCATION:Europe/London BEGIN:STANDARD DTSTART:20211031T010000 TZOFFSETFROM:+0100 TZOFFSETTO:+0000 TZNAME:GMT END:STANDARD END:VTIMEZONE END:VCALENDAR
