About this cause

Grace Eyre is an established charity which has been supporting people with learning disabilities for over 100 years. We think our mission is best described by people with learning disabilities who use our services: ‘We want to live our lives in the way we want to, getting good support from kind and friendly people’. People with learning disabilities who use our services have recently developed a new Charter which now informs every aspect of our work: ‘We want to lead healthy lives; to have strong and supported relationships; to travel around where we live; to have good housing; to try new things; to be listened to; and to be part of our communities.’ In response, Grace Eyre delivers a suite of services so that people can gain the skills, knowledge and independence to achieve their dreams.

How this cause brings people in the community together

440 sessions will take place at venues in local communities, helping to break down the barriers between those people with learning disabilities and those people without, with new opportunities for volunteers & coaches. We'll work in partnership with sports clubs and centres so that their staff become more skilled and engaged in disability sports, benefiting the whole community in the longer term.
