Essex has a variety of organisations that support those with diverse accessibility needs including Lola's Roundtable, Refuel Respite, Life Day Respite, and Abode Respite Services. These organisations offer a variety of day programs to support diverse accessiblity needs while giving caregivers freedom to pursue whatever they need to continue to support their loved ones. The importance of such programs for those with diverse accessibility needs and their caregivers is why we have named these organisations and their staffs as this year's heroes.
We are grateful to Lola's Roundtable, Refuel Respite, Life Day Respite, and Abode Respite Services for the fun, creative programs they offer to enable individuals with diverse accessibility needs to experience friendship, and meaningful engagement.
