It's Learning Disability Week! 💜 1.5 million people in the UK have a learning disability. We want people with a learning disability to be seen and recognised for who they are. Research shows that people with a learning disability have had enough of being ignored, mistreated, patronised - and, sometimes, even locked away. 👉 Donate today and help us make the UK the best place to live for people with a learning disability: https://brnw.ch/21wKMD9
