Our Purpose
Built by community,
driven by community
LDAC exists to create visible and lasting change for people with learning disabilities in Croydon. We are a co-led community interest company, which means the people we serve are not just at the heart of what we do, they are part of leading it.
We work alongside people with learning disabilities, their carers, service providers, statutory bodies, and local communities to challenge attitudes, open doors, and build a Croydon where everyone belongs.
Our Values
Empowerment
We empower people with learning disabilities to lead and co-lead in the matters that concern them.
Support
We help people contribute through volunteering, work, and sharing their talents.
Opportunities
We promote opportunities to be heard by service providers through events and training.
Awareness
We work across Croydon to change attitudes and promote understanding of learning disability.
Advocacy
We advocate for equal opportunity, person-specific services, and better outcomes for all.
Inclusivity
We reach out to those most marginalised, including those least likely to access services on their own.
