I would haye to think your completely cut off from them if needed mate
(23 Oct 2015, 3:24 pm)GX03 SVC wrote Sure am. My brother, as he has a learning disability still has a social worker though. I'm led to believe that if I need help, it'll be through 'adult' SS, but if its in the next year or two I'll be back onto the DCT or whatever.

They have to be for respite, but I don't actually have enough trust in the system for that. Too many conversations with people who Miss The Point.
(28 Oct 2015, 11:23 am)MrFozz wrote I know where your coming from, I was involved with them for years, I only really trusted 2 of them, my social worker and her manager, I was moved about 13 times between 1996 and 2001, w/11 being between March 96 and July 97, I was lucky that I got a settled placement in the end.
I used to be part of a Youth Organisation who worked with people in care, who had been in care and there families, I went from being a Group Member at 14, to Youngest Management Committe member 3 months after my 18th birthday, I was unofficially on the committee from 17, I left for a year or 2 when I was 21/22, went back at 24 and was elected the youngest ever officer on the Organisations Board of Trustees as Vice-Chair which I held till 2010 when we closed down through loss of funding.
Today I would have been fighting for us to become an outreach service or intervention service, keeping our work up with kids in care, but including the kind of work Tommy recieved or the kinda stuff BusLoverMentions. We were good in that we werw independent of Social Sercices and it devastated me the day we closed our doors, as there was still a place for us in the community
(28 Oct 2015, 7:59 pm)BusLoverMum wrote Sadly, you weren't the only organisation of its kind that had the plug pulled, at the time. Publicly funded services are stretched to snapping point, smaller, more local organisations have been left to flounder and the only people who seem to be getting any funding as part of this so-called "big society" are large, bloated charities who say all the right things.And after watching the news recently it makes effing sick that organisations like Kids Company were being extravegantly funded to the tune of millions of £'s and seemed to use emotional blackmail to get there money, that makes me sick knowing organisations like the one I was with went to make way for Kids Company to get there funding

Don't get me wrong i love animal programs anyways but he always makes them more interesting.....
(02 Nov 2015, 1:38 pm)GX03 SVC wrote He isn't in any of these places...
He flies in, says "I'm at the Amazon looking for the sacred Ford Mondeofish", then flies back to the UK and does voice overs to existing footage.

Good on him although i didn't expect it.
(03 Nov 2015, 2:42 pm)Andreos1 wrote He has just came out now?!I always thought he was as well.
I thought he must have been out for years!
Even my 'gaydar' picked that one up and it's as effective as a second world war prototype.
Seriously though, I don't get why someone coming out is news. Not just Grimmy, but when others have too.
