Learning Disability Week

Learning Disability Week raises awareness of issues important to people with learning disabilities. In 2019, the annual campaign, led by Mencap ran from Monday 17 to Sunday 23 June with the theme of sport and inclusion.

Sport and physical activity can boost health and wellbeing and reduce loneliness and isolation for people with and without learning disabilities. To challenge negative views towards people with a learning disability, Mencap are encouraging as many people as possible to get involved with inclusive sporting activities in their local communities.
