Welcome!

The internet has changed life in many, many ways, and one of happiest developments has been the growth of web communities that foster connections among people with shared interests and concerns.

It is a pleasure to launch the first blogs of what we hope will be a new home for many working for a world that supports people with vulnerabilities. In time we expect to link up with many other communities of interest, to incorporate other capabilities as we grow, and to be a place where we can all help, inspire and encourage one another.

Most importantly, we hope to become hosts to a true community, a vibrant and always growing family with many perspectives and opinions and a shared vision of a more inclusive world.
