This National Learning Disabilities Week, we pause to reflect, honour, and most importantly say thank you.
To every nursery, care home, school, support service and organisation we've had the privilege to work with: ๐ Thank you for opening your doors, your hearts, and your minds to those with learning disabilities. ๐ Thank you for choosing kindness, patience, and dignity even when things are tough. ๐ Thank you for letting us be a part of your journey.
You donโt just provide services you create safe spaces, you empower voices that have long gone unheard, and you build the foundations of a more inclusive future. And that is something truly worth celebrating.

โจ How Far Weโve Come
When Learning Disabilities Week first began in the 1980s, it was a small step toward visibility. Today, it stands as a powerful reminder of how far we've come:
โ More people with learning disabilities are living independently and making their own choices โ Schools and workplaces are becoming more inclusive and accessible โ Society is listening more, learning more, and doing more thanks to people like you
This progress is not accidental. Itโs the result of decades of care, advocacy, and everyday heroes like you, our clients showing up with love and commitment.
