Correction @snorkie635, its down to a multitude of BC legends including the more than 320 lovely folks who donated (yourself included), our friend "Anonymous" who matched donations, the daily reminders from @BassTractor and @SamIAm, Bruce Forsyth obvs, and most of all the Travis family who shared with us all the sheer grit and determination of Iris x

I actually dreamt about Brucie last night. I have now started therapy... Can I bill @Clarky for these costs?

Given the eye watering cost of my therapist, we are going to need a proper fund raiser. If only we knew someone who was familiar with the process....🤔

Which process? Eye watering? 🤪😉

At this point, we’re about to consult legal teams regarding the disability discrimination act.

 

 

 

Probably a minor point in the grand scheme of things, but the DDA was replaced by the Equality Act 2010 in England, Scotland and Wales.

Not my area of expertise in health and social care @AndyTravisbut IIRC the Care Act (adults) and corresponding Children and Families Act 2014 included segments around ensuring person-centred care was provided for people with disabilities, for wellbeing essentially, so including dignity and independence. Assuming the Local Authority are not meeting iris’ assessed needs, I’m pretty sure the Acts have a pathway for appeals. IME Social Workers and Local Authorities really don’t like having Acts quoted at them, puts them at risk so they may get a groove on.  
 

Best of luck to you all.

Fair point, i probably wrote in fits of rage…but I concede that one 😉

So guys - I’ll start by reiterating the thank yous.

 

Clarky, you’re a hero. Just the thought process alone - you’ve made a huge difference.

 

To the anonymous donor who matched the last donations - I’m sure I know you, but I’d love you to message me; Iris has a picture in mind to draw for you.

 

To all of you, and “Rob from basschat” @rwillett who pushed this thread from strength to strength… @walshyfor his offers and all the massive donations (there were so many)

 

Every donation has meant the world - no matter what the amount.

 

This thread has honestly been amazing to watch - and then i remember it’s for Iris, for our family and I’m humbled.

 

Honestly. It’s been an emotional month - and I cannot thank you all enough ever.
