Generally, when we talk about learning disabilities, we’re talking about conditions that affect how a person understands and processes information.

Learning disabilities can make everyday life more challenging, and might mean that support is needed in order for the person to live with as much independence and choice as possible.

Learning disabilities affect people to widely differing degrees; those with a mild learning disability are often independent in caring for themselves and carrying out everyday tasks, while people with a profound learning disability will likely have considerable difficulty in communicating and very limited understanding. For this reason, it’s important to take a person-centred approach to supporting anyone with a learning disability, seeing the whole person rather than focusing on any one aspect of their life.

Our services are funded through a combination of Local Authority funding and fundraised income. Often Local Authority funding will cover only the basics, or fund only people with the most complex needs. We don’t feel this is enough, so we also raise money for things that are no longer funded to make sure people can live their life, their way.
