We want Wales to be the best country for people with a learning disability to live, learn, love and work
Learning Disability Wales is a national charity representing the learning disability sector in Wales. We want Wales to be the best country in the world for people with a learning disability to live, learn and work. We work with people with a learning disability and their families, Welsh government, local authorities, disabled people’s organisations and the voluntary sector so we can create a better Wales for all people with a learning disability. Elusen genedlaethol yw Anabledd Dysgu Cymru sydd yn cynrychioli’r sector anabledd dysgu yng Nghymru. Rydym eisiau i Gymru fod y wlad orau i bobl gydag anabledd dysgu i fyw, dysgu a gweithio ynddi. Rydyn ni’n gwneud hyn drwy weithio gyda phobl ag anabledd dysgu a’u teuluoedd, Llywodraeth Cymru, awdurdodau lleol, cyrff pobl anabl a’r sector gwirfoddol er mwyn inni allu creu Cymru well i’r holl bobl gydag anabledd dysgu.

Cardiff Council is on the verge of approving its first-ever Neurodivergent Friendly Cardiff Strategy, a pioneering five-year plan designed to make the city a place where neurodivergent people of all ages are supported to live well and thrive.
The strategy, which runs from 2025 to 2030, is the result of extensive engagement with neurodivergent individuals, families, professionals, and community groups. Over 800 people took part in the consultation earlier this year, with more than 84 per cent of adults and 92 per cent of young people agreeing with the vision and key aims of the strategy.

Creating a Wales that values and includes every child, young person and adult with a learning disability
We want all people with a learning disability to live as independently as possible in a place that they choose, and to have control over their lives.
We believe that people with a learning disability can achieve this if they, their families and the people who support them have access to the best information, advice, training and support.
We play a unique role in making this happen - through our own services, working in partnership with other organisations, and influencing policy.
How we do this
Informing - our website, Llais magazine, eNewsletter, social media, Easy Read service, conferences and events will keep you up-to-date with the latest news and issues that matter.
Educating - our projects and extensive training programme can help you to learn and develop new skills.
Influencing - we advise government and statutory bodies, including local authorities, health boards, Welsh Government, UK and European government.
Listening - we use conferences, consultation events and social media to make sure we are always engaged with the issues that matter to people with a learning disability, their families and the people who support them. You can also engage with us through more informal channels - contact us, or simply speak to us at an event.
Working in partnership
We work in partnership with:
people with a learning disability
our members
Welsh Government
service providers
disabled people's organisations
advocacy groups
statutory agencies
parent and carer organisations.
We promote real inclusion, personalisation and person-centred planning, and actively support the People First slogan: 'Nothing about us without us!'
We believe in the fundamental values of the United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (UNCRPD), and the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child (UNCRC).
