Why LDN Eats Matters
Currently 95 per cent of people with learning disabilities are not in work.
People who attend our Coproduction group regularly say that getting a job is very important to them,
Employers don’t give people with learning disabilities the opportunities they should have.
So people with learning disabilities are left out of the workplace. They are missing out on many benefits: a regular wage, independence, community, a sense of purpose, and the chance to learn and develop.
Companies are also missing out on many talented people who would benefit their companies.
We want to show the potential of people with learning disabilities, if they are given the chance they deserve.
LDN Eats
Strengthens social inclusion.
Offers paid work opportunities.
Builds confidence, independence, and practical catering skills.
Challenges misconceptions about what people with learning disabilities can achieve.
