We work with groups and individuals to improve the quality of life for people with a learning disability and/or ASD and their carers in Redbridge and the neighbouring boroughs. We share information through our Website, leaflets, emails and Newssheets. We hold special events, meetings and consultations. We provide support to our members through a number of projects.
