What does it do?We do so many different things. For example:
· We support people with a learning disability to get a job or take a college course, or we can help them find a place of their own to live in.
· We offer advice about things like respite care, individual budgets or transport services.
· We run residential/day care services and leisure groups that are so important to so many people with a learning disability, and their families and supporters.
· We support people with a learning disability to be part of their local communities.
· We lobby the government to change laws so that more and more people with a learning disability can have control over their own lives. |
