We believe everyone has the right to be included in their neighbourhood and to live the life they choose. This is about more than access to services; it is about full citizenship, belonging, and opportunity.
Inclusion North is a regional changemaker. We bring people with a learning disability, autistic people, and family carers together with communities and decision-makers. Our work ensures lived experience shapes policy, services, and strategies across the North East, Yorkshire and Humber. We do this through co-production; working together as equals so that change is real, lasting and owned by the people it affects.
For over 20 years we have worked at both grassroots and system level, building leadership, influencing decisions, and tackling the barriers that limit people’s lives.
Your partnership helps us connect lived experience with system change. Together, we can make sure everyone has the same right to take part, to influence, and to live the life they choose.
