Together we can create a world in which people with a learning disability are valued equally, listened to and included. Where the 1.4 million people who have a learning disability can feel proud of who they are and accepted by society.
We want you, your friends and your family to join with us to campaign, raise money and volunteer alongside people with a learning disability - we can't think of a more rewarding way to spend your time...
Why volunteer with us?
You will change a life but we promise it will change yours as well. We work with volunteers who are as passionate about supporting people with a learning disability as we are and we would love it if you join us.
In return we offer the chance to develop new skills and experience, as well as make new friends.

We are the London Borough of Harrow.
Rich in culture, heritage and an entrepreneurial hotspot, we pride ourselves as one of London’s most diverse boroughs.
We want Harrow to be a great place to live, work and visit, a place where people are proud to call home, feel safe and supported and where communities flourish.
Putting residents first is at the heart of everything we do. Within this lies a commitment to deliver services and experiences where the wellbeing and needs of our residents are met and are of a high standard.
With a workforce of more than 3000 employees, we want to be a council that staff are proud to work for, where everyone feels empowered to excel and is given the opportunity to thrive – all while serving our 250,000+ residents.
We want our staff to share the same level of ambition and drive to delivering our plans within the business and wider community. These are centred around three core priorities:
- A council that puts residents first
- A borough that is clean and safe
- A place where those in need are supported
We deliver our services and achieve our goals through our core values: to Be Courageous, to Do It Together and to Make It Happen. These are the main drivers to delivering our priorities and achieving our goals.
Our vision is to work together to continue to make a difference for Harrow, where people choose to do business, to live, work and visit.
