A little look back over what has been the busiest year in LUNA history! Trying to sum up the year in 10 slides proved to be quite the challenge! Thankyou so much for all your support this year! Here's to 2023, we've got lots of things on the horizon 🌌 Team LUNA Xx 1/10
The slide has a pale blue background with a dark green border. The LUNA logo is at the top in the centre. Underneath are 3 pieces of text that read “The LUNA Project A 2022 Round Up Swipe through to have a look at some of the things we got up to during 2022”.

Happy #IDPD2022! We're really excited to launch a brand new project... #WeAreLearning! We know first hand how isolating it can be to be disabled in education & we want to use our platform to collate these experiences & raise awareness. (1/2) IDs: docs.google.com/document/d/1…

A great big thank you to Ally, Beth and Ross from @theLUNAprojectt for a fantastic workshop with Primary 7 today. We discussed ways which we could support friends with disabilities. There was plenty of great discussion between everyone.

Massive thank you to our speakers last night @Mrs_Rankin_VPS @Carmel_Jacob @StarraEducation @DanKeenan24 and those who attended & shared too. It was an incredibly moving event. Much to be done for children in care but so many doing the work and willing to do more. Thank you.
