Learn: Learning Disabilities Action Pack

Download Learning Disabilities Action Pack

At the beginning of 2017 the Learning Disability Working Group was thinking about how best to resource and inspire all the people across the country who are interested in making church better for those with Learning Disabilities.

We had provided some very successful conferences but we were aware that sometimes people may leave a conference feeling inspired and resourced but are unable to put what they have learnt into action. How do I actually make a difference in my local community? What are the first steps?

So the Learning Disability Working Group created an Action Pack.

The Action Pack takes you every step of the way from your first questions – What does the bible say about disability? right through to creating change in your community.

The Action Pack helps you assess what is right for your church and your area. Perhaps your church could run a special service tailored to those with Learning Disabilities or perhaps you could start with just a few small changes to the Sunday morning service.

The pack has free posters and templates, service plans and top tips. It even guides you on how to talk to others with example emails and invitations. It really is all you need!
