About SENDaWelcome
We are working to create a completely inclusive community where people with learning disabilities are valued and celebrated for their differences.
We are doing this by
- Raising visibility and awareness, so that people realise change is needed. When people are aware of the issues change is possible and they can shift their perspectives.
- Helping to educate and inform so that people are empowered and supported to make changes that benefit everybody, not just those with learning disabilities but the whole community.
- Making supportive connections so that people are celebrated in their communities and relationship building can take place.
- We work with people with learning disabilities, their families and friends and within local communities. We work alongside local organisations and businesses.Our work helps shape change in policy making, housing, education and health provision.
Why we are important

Bishopston Matters June 17
There is a huge lack of equal access and opportunities and this often results in children with SEND being isolated from the activities, social networks and benefits open to their own brothers and sisters.
It's this precise lack that prompted us to set up SENDaWelcome last year. We believe that children with special educational needs and disabilities should be able to join local clubs and groups as easily as everyone else. They should be as involved and visible in their community as everyone else.
