Tags: Disability support Learning disabilities Health & Medical Neurodiversity Advocacy, awareness & campaigning

verything we do is about valuing and supporting people with a learning disability, and their families and carers.

Our vision is a world where people with a learning disability are valued equally, listened to and included.

There are 1.5 million people with a learning disability in the UK. Read the latest research and statistics on a range of issues affecting people with a learning disability, from health and social care to finding work and friendships.

Treat Me Well is our campaign to transform how the NHS treats people with a learning disability in hospital.

We know the treatment people with a learning disability get in hospital is still not good enough in many parts of the country.

This has to change.

We want a world where people with a learning disability are valued equally, listened to and included. Everything we do is about making this world a reality.

We’re here to improve the lives of people with a learning disability and their families now, and fight alongside them for a better future. We team up with our network of over 300 local groups to reach people across England, Northern Ireland and Wales.

Your Impact

Together we can provide personalised support to people with a learning disability and their families. Whether that is one-to-one sessions helping parents learn to care for the specialist needs of their child or advice on how to apply for your first job.
