Families
MacIntyre was established by the parents of a disabled child in 1966 for all people with a learning disability to live a life that makes sense to them.
Families Podcast
MacIntyre want to reach out to as many people as possible and we thought that creating a Family Podcast would be a great, modern way of sharing stories directly from families and from people in the Social Care sector.
Each month Nicola Payne, MacIntyre's Family Engagement Consultant, talks to special guests who share their insights and experiences.
Music by Nigel Hammond. Album cover by Paul Payne Artist.

Jo invests lots of her time to support MacIntyre and has fundraised in such brave and creative ways over the years alongside her daughter Jess too. In addition Jo loves to walk, be in her garden and spend time with her family and friends. Jo enjoys going to the theatre and has a much loved passion for dance.
In this episode of MacIntyre Family Podcast you will get an insight into Jo’s life and hear Jo speak about the importance of including Jess in big future decisions and having family affairs in place for the future.
