Scottish Learning Disability Week celebrates the rich contribution that people with learning disabilities make to society.
This year’s theme is ‘Lead to change’ with a focus on all aspects of Leadership. The week matters because there are over 125,000 people with learning disabilities living in Scotland, and raising awareness provides an opportunity to change attitudes, making Scotland a better, fairer and more equal place for everyone.
Take part in this year’s Scottish Learning Disability Week and order a Get Involved Pack which is filled with ideas and activities to encourage you to participate.
