CHANGE are working with organisations and people with lived experience of learning disabilities in Leeds.
We are working to make an exhibition of the history of people with learning disabilities in Leeds.
An exhibition is where art, or things from history are displayed for everyone to see. This is normally in an art gallery or museum.
Looking at the past is important, but we want to celebrate the people of today too!
If you have a learning disability and live in Leeds, we would like to hear from you.
We want to know:
- Something you have achieved or something that should be celebrated.
- If you are in paid work or you volunteer, and what the experience is like.
- What you think would make Leeds better for people who have a learning disability.
If you would like to share your story with us, please contact the CHANGE team:
- Email at: info@changepeople.org
- Phone at: 0113 244 0606 and ask to speak to a CHANGE project worker.
