-- SOME BACKGROUND --
There is a huge shortage of PAs in the UK at the moment, and this is impacting on thousands of people across the disabled community.

To promote a broader view of what it's like to be a PA, and to share the brilliant work PAs do, SMA UK would love you to share your pictures and PA stories using the hashtag #ItsNotJustCare , tagging SMA UK on social media and / or emailing: [email protected]
