People in Action (Leeds) UK is a third sector and not-for profit organisation and registered charity established in 1983. We work with and for people with learning difficulties and disabilities.

We have 800 members of the Charity who are people with learning difficulties and disabilities, carers, and professionals from all sectors.

Our members are consulted and involved in setting the strategic direction of the charity through 3 Members meetings a year as well as issue specific focus groups e.g. website developments, Annual report, project evaluations. We work in a person centred way.

We work with 500+ people with learning difficulties and disabilities a week and engage with their families / carers from across the city that are from many diverse backgrounds. Our activities are community based and culturally sensitive providing meaningful and fun opportunities and support/advocacy.

Since 2000 we have developed our capacity to involve people with learning difficulties and disabilities from marginalised communities such as African; African Caribbean, South Asian, refugees and Eastern European. We have achieved this through consistent developments and project delivery research and campaigning.
