Leadership Courses – Take the Lead – Inspire change for better futures
The Henry Smith Charity have funded Inclusion North to create and deliver 3 levels of leadership course for people with a learning disability and autistic people over the next 3 years.
The aim is train and empower people to be active leaders in their communities, to speak up for people’s rights, to highlight abuse, to demand equality and to help shape better support and services.
Taking the Lead
We are running some free online workshops for people with a learning disability and autistic people.
We are running five different workshops. Each workshop is about a different topic.
The workshops are for adults with a learning disability and autistic people living in the North East or Yorkshire and Humberside.
We really welcome people with a learning disability and autistic people from Black, Asian and minority ethnic backgrounds, and people who are lesbian, gay, bisexual, trans and queer (LGBTQIA+).
