Alex' football blog

Hi I'm Alex

I like Leicester city football club. I try to go to every Home match with my mum. We have got season tickets. Most of the time it's funny to go, but sometimes it's not because we lose. Sometimes my mum takes me to Lynn's café before the match to have burger and chips and sometimes my Dad comes too, so he can go running or go into Town.

Lynne's blog

I lived in Coventry for 8 years and I lived with my sister for a year, things didn’t work out with my sister and I am living with a very good friend of mine. I went to college and became a chef.
I started to go to karaoke with friends and I became friends with a really nice man. In 2003 I became a member of Grapevine and my friend goes there too. Grapevine is a drop in centre for people with learning disabilities. Being a part of Grapevine has built my social life tremendously. There is a social club called Inside Out and we go to pubs and clubs etc. I was a member at Grapevine for 4 years and made a lot of friends there. I found out that there was a job going -which I got!
I will tell you all about my job next time.

My friend James left the door open the dog chased a squirrel into the house. The squirrel hide behind the radiator. Georgia was barking like mad.

deeann media coverage

Hi!
My name is Dee-Ann I am taking part in a media project at Grapevine. There is not only me in the group there are other 15 members willing to learn what the media is. We have already learnt quite a lot about different media and how to use media to present ourselves and our lives in the public. Some of the ways to contact each other are emails or blogs. They help you contact each other and say what days our meetings are and where they are held at. The best bit is sharing your stories and your thoughts with your friends. I could use photos to show what I have been doing and then put them under my stories. That’s all by now. Next time im going to tell you about my friends. Who are they? What are we doing in the Media project?

Chattervine

This is a blog for people with learning disabilities to talk about their lives. You can talk about jobs, things that interest or make you cross. We want to hear if you think other people treat you with respect and what your life is really like.
If you want to have a rant about anything, that is OK. Please keep it polite and don't get personal about anyone. We want this blog to be somewhere that people can talk to each other respectfully. Sometimes people will have different ideas to you, that doesn't mean that they are wrong and you right. It just means we think about things in different ways, we think that is good.
We think it is OK to get someone to help you send us messages, and it doesn't matter if you only send a short message. We just want to hear from you.
This blog is run by 6 members of the Uncover Media Team. We are based at Grapevine, in Coventry. The project gets money from The Big Lottery Fund. We are trying to change the way the media- TV, radio, newspapers and the Internet shows people with learning disabilities. We want to get people to treat us with more respect.
Over the next few weeks we will tell you a bit about ourselves and what the project does. We don't see each other everyday so it might take a few days to get back to you. Please don't let that put you off.
