Learning Disability England is a membership organisation and 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.
You can be part of Learning Disability England’s 800+ strong membership either as an individual member or an organisational member.
There are many types of organisations that are part of the membership, including self-advocacy organisations, family groups and providers.
There are also many different individual members – from self-advocates with learning disabilities, to people who work in health or social care, friends and family members.
Every member of the Learning Disability England movement has signed up to its aims and values.
Everyone is welcome to join the membership. When you join as an individual you will be asked what ‘voice group’ you most identify with:
- Person with a learning disability
- Family, friend or circle of support for someone with a learning disability
- Paid supporter or proffesional working with people with learning disabilities or the organisation they work in
Members of Learning Disability England help to decide how we run, the decisions we make and the action we take.
