OUR PASTOut of sight, out of mind
Lost in the system
A passive recipient of care, a dependant on the welfare state

It is about a different relationship between the citizen and the state, its about being...............

But the question still exists Who will look after my loved on when
I’m no longer here?
• If you love something enough you will keep it safe for ever.
• A sustainable life with people who know your story.
• A good life with friends and family.
• Sorting things out then you can truly have Peace of Mind.

BUTWhere and when do I start?
How can we make the impossible possible?
It takes energy.
Who is really interested?
My child will die first or I will live for ever?
We have no choice but to aim high!!!
