LD:NorthEast are a North Tyneside based charity, supporting people of all ages who have a learning disability, many of whom have other physical disabilities, mental health needs or other challenging conditions. Our primary aim is to help the people we support to lead meaningful and fulfilling lives, making sure they have access to opportunities many of us take for granted. We support people to make friends, take part in activities that support their health, wellbeing and safety and to live as individuals, being in control of everything they do. Every penny of funds raised is spent directly on supporting people with learning disabilities who choose to receive support from us. For example, 100% of your contributions will support us to provide resources such as art materials, musical instruments, transport for much needed days out (supporting users and carers), social events in the community and much more. Many of the people we work with have very little money to spare, so any additional support we can offer through fundraising is gratefully received. In the coming months, we will be posting details on our website as well as telling you directly about how funds you help us to raise are being used and how your support is directly supporting some of the most marginalised people in our society. Thank you for your support.
