Take the Lead

Swansea People First

A project by Swansea People First

Take the Lead

Take the Lead group runs twice a week, in city center and in Fforestfach with two groups of adults with learning disabilities. The purpose of the group is to allow the group members to learn about anything they want in an accessible manner. Some weeks members will be supported to deliver their own presentations on topics they are interested, some weeks the project facilitator will cover a topic of their choice and guest speakers are also invited in to talk about specialised topics.

Why they need our service

For many adults with disabilities, information is not made readily available or accessible. This project aims to create accessible information on any topic the members are interested in, this ranges from politics and health, to how earthquakes work and Greek Mythology.

Plan and expected results

This project provides an opportunity for education to continue beyond school years in a member led environment. This increases independence and confidence as well helping members to gain new skills.
