We support ourselves and each other to get the best out of life on our own terms. The group is led and run by its own members, with support from assistants and volunteers.

Our Come on Down Festival is happening in October, it’s the perfect opportunity to share your talents with our friendly audience.
Come On Down is a festival by and for anyone with a learning disability and/or neurodivergent. It’s fun get together and chance to celebrate the community’s creative talents. It could be a song, a dance, a drama piece, a film – it doesn’t have to be a polished act. This is about encouraging and supporting each other to shine and we want to provide an opportunity for everyone to participate.
So put Tuesday 6th and Thursday 8th October in your diary and start rehearsals now. 😀
