Learning Disability Week
Learning Disability Awareness Week is celebrated throughout the country every year.
This year, it starts on Monday 16 June.
We are planning events across the week for:
-
Residents
-
Carers
-
Professionals
-
Other members of the community
-
Local services and businesses
Last year, we had:
A focus group on Housing designs for residents with Learning Disabilities.
-
What people said in the meeting is in a report for Newham’s Planning Department. They will use this for the Local Plan to create the right kind of housing in Newham.
We also had a free BBQ at Chargeable Lane. We had over 250 people join us for:
-
Performances by residents with learning disabilities
-
Music and Dancing with DJ Steve
-
Information about community support and activities
We hope that you can join us this year.
