Learning Disability England is England’s only national movement where people with learning disabilities, families, friends and people in paid supporter roles come together on an equal basis.
That’s because we are stronger and louder together! Together we work towards people with learning disabilities having good lives with equal choices and opportunities as others.
Organisational membership is for any group, company, organisation, local authority, regional/national board or collection of people who wants to become part of the movement.
These leaflets tell you a bit more about why you might want to and what it means to join the membership as a support provider or a micro-provider.
