Highlights from our Learning Disability Week 2025 event

From the 16th June to the 20th June, here at Natural Breaks we celebrated Learning Disability Week with this year’s theme being ‘Do you see me?’. This was about making people with a learning disability feel seen, heard and valued.  This week was a very important opportunity for us to celebrate the people we support and highlight their achievements, challenge misconceptions and promote inclusion.  

What activities and workshops were on offer? 

There was a wide range of activities helping to highlight the achievements, hobbies and skills of people we support as well as fun workshops for people to get involved with. These allowed people to have fun and engage with others, while gaining new experiences in activities they aren’t as familiar with. 

These activities and workshops included: 

It was a positive and enjoyable experience for all involved and people had very nice things to say about their experience. Jackie said “The day was just great, I had the best time.” and Steven said “It’s been great here, I got to show my artwork to people and I won the race.” 

Learning Disability Week is a reminder to always make those with learning disabilities feel seen, heard and valued. As well as seeing beyond labels and truly getting to know people without judgment. We hope all who attended enjoyed their time with us and got something out of this amazing experience!
