About us 

SENDaWelcome run projects that help to build awareness and understanding of the issues people with learning disabilities face.

This is a collage of the SENDaWelcome logo made with tissue paper of all different colours.

Who we are

​SENDaWelcome was started by a group of parents whose children all have learning disabilities.

​

We believe that by making our community aware of the issues faced by children with SEND, their parents and carers, local people could create a community that celebrates and values neurodiversity.​​

​

We wanted businesses and organisations be given the skills to welcome people with learning disabilities.

​

We wanted to empower local people to make changes that are good for everyone in the community, not just people with learning disabilities.

Our impact

Awareness raised

Connections built

Empowered change

We have attended conferences, network meetings and forums to raise awareness. We have provided support and training to local organisations to improve their inclusive offering. We share stories and celebrate examples of good practice.

We have supported families and individuals with our mentoring scheme, information sharing and our 'easy read' guides. Our events bring people and organisations together.

We have consulted on local policies, easy read documents and inclusive events. We have contributed to professional training, literature and academic studies.
