Share Scotland had a mystery shopper at a recent event.

At the Art of Living Lifestyle Show, which took place in the Arches in April this year, was a 'whole-life marketplace' for people with disabilities. There were over 50 stalls representing organisations that provide support, advice or services to disabled people, as well as a number of workshops throughout the day.  Pauline and Dougie manned the Share Scotland stall for the day, providing information to a wide range of people.

Unknown to stallholders, there were twelve mystery shoppers evaluating the event. They secretly visited the stands, taking note of how they were treated by the organisations' representatives.

This is the first in a series of blog posts about our amazing volunteers, in this one we meet Aline from Germany.

Two parents on the West Dunbartonshire Transitions Project have set up an online support group through Facebook.

Parents and Carers Together is a place for people who care for sons, daughters or loved ones with learning disabilities, autism, ADHD and any other additional support needs. It is a closed Facebook group, which means that only members are able to see what is being said. As part of the group, parents and carers can come together for support - whether it is to rant and rave about challenges, share top tips, offer advice or just call upon a friendly ear.

You can find the group here: http://www.facebook.com/groups/parentsandcarerstogether
