LDN Community Hubs

Staying healthy, being safe and living well

Our LDN London Community Hubs bring people together, tackle social isolation and address the effects of poverty on some of the capital’s most vulnerable people.

At the Hubs we provide a range of activities and workshops, teaching crucial life skills and helping people with learning disabilities to play a bigger role in their community. We want to tackle the inequalities faced by people with learning disabilities.

Why the Hubs are needed and how you can get involved

Londoners who have learning disabilities are being left out of their communities.

Imagine if the things you did every day were much more difficult. If there were constant barriers and struggles to doing everyday tasks that you take for granted: travelling, socialising, telling the time, paying bills. This is what it’s like for people we support. People with learning disabilities struggle to understand new or complex information and need help with everyday tasks. Learning disabilities affect someone for their whole life. Imagine having to do that on your own.

At LDN’s Community Hub, we know it’s vital to support people for a long time. But we need funding to do this. Sadly, due to a lack of funding, many people with learning disabilities don’t get the help they desperately need. Without this they often struggle with poor physical health and mental health, loneliness and isolation, poverty and are the victims of crime and exploitation.

Many people don’t get the chances in life they should have: to work, to make friends, get good and dignified healthcare, and to have a place to call home.

We want to change this – helping people with learning disabilities to make genuine connections and to be safer and healthier in their communities. Through our groups and activities, we help people feel like valued members of the community and become more confident and independent.

At the heart of what we do is tackling the social isolation and loneliness that many people with learning disabilities experience.

We also educate society about learning disabilities and bring about change.

We want to live in a London where people with learning disabilities are fully included in everyday life.

A huge thank you to our funders and sponsors of our LDN Community Hubs.
