Researchers at The Tizard Centre, University of Kent would like to hear stories and opinions about how race and ethnicity affects the healthcare experiences of people with a mild to moderate learning disability, from a black, Asian or other ethnic minority background and living in the UK. Please see and share the attached flyer, and contact Rmh43@kent.ac.uk for more information.
L’Arche Kent is a community of people with and without learning disabilities, including Support Assistants, volunteers, friends and neighbours, based in Canterbury. It is a model of creative and inclusive practice in the provision of support to its members (beer brewing features very highly in its activities), and refers to its voluntary Community Support Group (CSG) in advancing its goals of mutual service, promoting community, boosting spirituality and maintaining outreach to the wider society. The CSG meets quarterly, and our meetings are always dynamic, lively and fun! However, we are now in need of more members. If you would like to know more, and become involved with this wonderful community, please contact Cathy Bernal on cathy.bernal@kmms.ac.uk. I can guarantee that you will not be bored – and that you will meet some very impressive individuals!
