Welcome to DISCOVER Voices, a disability lifestyle media network run by charity disAbility Cornwall & IoS.
We produce our very own podcast network discussing life through the lens of people living with a long-term health condition or disability.
We welcome a variety of hosts all with their own podcast series, giving their own outlook and take on topics and discussions that are close to their heart. This includes Care to Speak, a podcast focusing on carers’ rights and lived experience; The Advocacy Fellows, a podcast produced by young adults with learning disabilities; The Cornwall Memory Podcast, a show opening the conversation on memory loss and dementia; and Conversations with Dr Theo Blackmore, in which Theo interviews charity and disabled people’s organisation leaders.
Over the past 10 weeks, disAbility Cornwall & Isles of Scilly in partnership with LivDem delivered a landmark Young Onset Dementia Pilot Programme in Redruth for people under 65 who have recently been diagnosed with dementia.
The LivDem (Living Well with Dementia) Young Onset Programme was designed to help people:
✅ Understand what’s happening in the early stages of dementia
✅ Feel more confident about the future
✅ Gain practical information they can use
✅ Share experiences in a safe and understanding space
As the programme came to an end this month, we took some time to reflect with the people who made it so special.
We spoke to attendees about their experiences, what the group has meant to them, and the friendships and memories they have made along the way. We recorded these conversations to capture the voices and stories of the people involved.
A huge thank you to everyone who took part in the Young Onset Dementia Programme and shared their experiences with us. It has been a privilege to be part of such an inspiring community.

Inequality, Independence & Being Treated as Adults | The Advocacy Fellows Podcast #17
Welcome to the Advocacy Fellows Podcast, where young adults with learning disabilities speak openly about the issues that affect their lives. In this episode, the Advocacy Fellows explore a vital question: are people with learning disabilities being treated as equal adults in society?
Research from the Office for National Statistics shows disabled people often report lower levels of personal wellbeing. In this episode, we go beyond the statistics and hear directly from Advocacy Fellows about their lived experiences.
Honest, powerful and personal – this conversation highlights the changes still needed for people with learning disabilities to live full, equal lives.
