A local charity celebrated 25 years of support to disabled people last week with a special art exhibition and the launch of a new three-year rehabilitation project.

The Share Community has helped more than 3,000 people since 1977, providing help and training to those with mental health problems and learning difficulties.

Around 300 paintings were displayed and Michael Luvaglio, the charity's executive director, said the event which was held on International Day for Disabled People was a "unique occasion" and an "inspirational celebration of human achievement".
