About this cause

Yarrow provides housing, care and support over 200 people with learning disabilities, including people with autism, profound disabilities, sensory impairment. We also run a community arts centre known as the Gate, based in Shepherds Bush. People with learning disabilities love the activities that the Gate offers: Music – group work, band, music therapy, guitar, acting – drama, comedy, drama therapy, videos – an identifiable brand, rarely serious, always engaging, uploaded on to YouTube and art – hands on, creative, inclusive – wear overalls & sling paint at the wall The Gate supports people with learning disabilities to grow in confidence, skills and talents so they can interact with and be part of the wider community.

How this cause brings people in the community together

Our community is a one of people with learning disabilities, often marginalised & socially excluded. It will enable people WITHOUT learning disabilities to appreciate the many talents of people with learning disabilities, fostering a greater understanding & acceptance of diversity. Having a professional CD, will boost confidence & self esteem of the people with learning disabilities we support.
