Learning Disability Week 2022

Monday 20th June marks the beginning of learning disability week. An annual campaign making sure that the world knows what it is like to have a learning disability.

This year the campaign focuses on how people with a learning disability are re-connecting with their friends and their local communities after the tough times of the last couple of years.

Poor mental health, anxiety and feeling isolated are still issues that affect many people with a learning disability  day to day. Expect Ltd tries to change that by helping our service users to feel less isolated by accessing opportunities throughout their local communities, living as independently as possible in their community  and by mixing with  and building friendships with others, whilst taking part in a wide range of structured activities such as photography sessions, mental health groups or arts and crafts sessions.

Learning Disability week helps to try and;

• Campaign for a farer society for people with a learning disability
• Educate and raise awareness
• Put an end to discrimination.

Watch out for further updates about what Expect Ltd, our service users and staff have been up to during learning disability week.
