Promise Inclusion is a local charity that supports people with learning disabilities and their carers. We have a variety of social groups for adults with learning disabilities/autism including those with more profound needs offering fun and friendship (and delivering on the promise that all people matter)

Need

We are seeking to address social isolation and loneliness in people with learning disabilities. The people that we support have low incomes and are amongst the most marginalised in society, they have fewer opportunities due to their disabilities and their financial situation to access mainstream social activities. Many are challenged with health and emotional issues which is detrimental to their ability to engage with their local community and to help themselves, leading to social isolation.  

Our ethos is to include local people in their local communities so that they feel part of and supported by their local community and contribute to their local community. Our groups offer choice to people with learning disabilities and specifically includes those with more profound disabilities who may find it difficult to access other social activities running in mainstream facilities. 

The charity needs funding for help to support its social clubs and to allow them to continue.
