Projects
Our Lottery Project
We are thrilled to have 4 YEARS funding from The National Lottery Community Fund for our training project.
We have a Steering Group who oversee the project and who also work hard to plan the big Healthy, Happy, Safe Day on Wednesday 17 June 2026 at The Forum, Norwich.
This is a brilliant FREE day – planned and run by people with learning disabilities for people with learning disabilities.
It is a brilliant chance to learn, connect and celebrate together for Learning Disability Week 2026.
Why coming along is a GREAT idea…
- It gives you the chance to…
Meet LOTS of people with learning disabilities – over 500 came last time as well as their families, friends and supporters - Try and learn new things
- Be part of a positive, inclusive and fun day
- Celebrate Learning Disability Week 2026 at the best event in Norfolk
Use the programme to help plan your day.
We hope to see you there!
Have Your Say
We are also doing a BIG SURVEY to find out what life is like for people with a learning disability in Norfolk and use this to make life better for them.
You can complete the survey online, or if you would prefer a paper copy, please contact our office and we will send you one along with a freepost return envelope.
Before you begin, please take a look at the Information Sheet and Ways To Get Support guide.
The survey closes on Friday 24 July 2026, so please make sure you submit your response before then.
Your feedback is important to us, and we would love to hear from you.
Get Volunteering
Thanks to a grant from the Get InVOLved Skills Innovation fund we ran a project last year looking at making volunteering easier for people with learning disabilities.
As part of our project we said we would make some free easy read templates. You can download and use them from here:
Volunteer Agreement
Volunteer Form
Volunteer Expenses
These can help organisations make information accessible for volunteers with learning disabilities.
You can listen to one of our members talking about the project here.

Get online, be safe online
Thanks to CityFibre we have an exciting project called Get online, be safe online to teach people with learning disabilities to be safe online.
So far we used a survey to find out what tech people use and what people can doonline. We found out what help they need to use it.
Read our report about what we found out from the survey.
