Everyone deserves a happy, healthy life. Your donation can make it happen.
People with a learning disability are dying 25 years earlier than most of us, and many of these deaths are avoidable. (LeDeR Early Mortality Reports).
This is a stark reality, but with your help, we can change it.
We believe that people with a learning disability deserve to be happy, heathy, have aspirations and choose how they live their lives – things that many of us take for granted.
