Story

We are raising money to reopen our building in Westminster for people with learning disabilities.

We want to tackle the inequalities still faced by people with learning disabilities, including in healthcare, poverty and loneliness.

With a refurbished building and a new member of staff, we will provide a range of activities and workshops. This will include sessions on topics such as how to access healthcare services, staying safe, digital skills, mental health awareness, sexual health and relationships, and sustainability.

Many people with learning disabilities receive little money or support from the Government. Statistics show they have high rates of loneliness, poverty and unemployment, and find it harder to use digital technology. Simply, many people are not given the chances in life we should all have: to work, to make friends and to have a place to call home.

Without the support of a community, people with learning disabilities are often victims of exploitation and vulnerable to criminals. They might not look after themselves or get the healthcare they desperately need. And with few chances to work they also risk falling into debt, becoming homeless and having a mental health crisis.

We want to change this, helping people with learning disabilities to make genuine connections, and to be safer and healthier in their communities.

The hub will be a place where people make friends and have fun. It will also create a greater sense of community.

It is only by including people with learning disabilities in our communities that we can educate people and bring about change.
