There are 1.5 million people in the UK with a learning disability. We’d like you to use the number 1.5 to raise awareness and set your own challenge to support learning disabled people in the month of August.
Throughout August, we’re inviting you to take on the 1.5 Challenge to support learning disabled people.
1.5 represents the 1.5 million learning disabled people in the UK. And we are asking you to take on a challenge and raise funds for learning disabled people that works for you on one single day or every day of August. You can run or walk 1.5 miles each day, skip for 15 minutes each day, dance for 15 minutes, read 15 books or if you love cooking invite 15 people to attend a Come Dine with Me – do anything you like!
This challenge is for all ages and abilities. We want you to get active, have fun and show your support for learning disabled people.
There are no limits on what you can do, so get creative!
Without funding, learning disabled people do not always have access to opportunities that enable and empower them to be seen, heard and live the best lives possible.
Despite the challenges facing social care, with your help we can make sure learning disabled people can live the best lives possible. A life where they can be seen, heard and thrive.
👉 Will you stand with us today and take on the 1.5 challenge to ensure learning disabled people are seen, heard, and supported?
