Our Motivate projects are designed to support people with a learning disability to have visible and valued roles in the community - helping to change the way society thinks about people with a learning disability.
The Social Services and Wellbeing Act sets a very clear expectation that communities should be encouraged to find ways of including people with a learning disability.
Our Motivate services are designed with the Act in mind. We want to support communities to better understand the contribution that people with a learning disability can make.
