Supporting people with learning disabilities

to stay healthy, be safe and live well

About us

Learning Disability Network London is a charity which supports learning disabled adults and children and their families across London. We provide different levels of support, from a few hours a week up to round the clock care.

We believe that every person with a learning disability has the right to stay healthy, be safe and live well and have access to the same opportunities as everyone else.

Our services include supported living, domiciliary care, residential care, outreach, respite and complementary activities and support. We help people we support and their families to choose what’s right for them.

Spotlight On: Inclusive Employment

Learning Disability Network London recently held an event about inclusive employment.

Our aim was to shine a light on the lack of employment opportunities for learning disabled and autistic people.

Currently 95% of people with learning disabilities do not have a job.

People with learning disabilities and autistic people, as well as supported employment experts, talked about their experiences. We held the event at the office of Brewin Dolphin in central London, who kindly loaned us their space.

Why we fundraise

We fundraise to tackle social isolation, the vulnerability of loneliness, the impact of poverty, the exclusion from the workplace, the homelessness, the exposure to hate crimes and poor health outcomes for learning disabled people.
