A community event for people with learning disabilities and any professionals working with them, as well as their families and carers, will take place on Thursday 19 June 2025, from 10:00am to 3:00pm on the Ground Floor of Princes Quay Shopping Centre in Hull.
The event is being hosted by Humber Teaching NHS Foundation Trust with their Community Team for Learning Disabilities attending to deliver support.
Anyone can attend, and all are welcome at this event.
This free, family-friendly event will offer a comprehensive showcase of local support services as well as stalls from local organisations such as Hull KR, the Tigers Trust and Gig Buddies. It aims to improve awareness of the help available to people with learning disabilities (LD) and those needing extra support, especially around health, housing, employment, and social inclusion.
The event forms part of a wider initiative introducing a new Learning Disability Community Hub, being established in multiple locations across Hull and the East Riding of Yorkshire. These Hubs will host local, neighbourhood-based drop-in sessions, offering vital links to services and resources that support with housing, income and community connections.
Uniquely, the Hubs have been co-produced with people who have lived experience, ensuring that services are fully accessible and shaped by those who use them. Many families and carers report difficulties in finding or understanding support due to inaccessible formats or a lack of clear information. These events, and hopefully future Hubs, are designed to bridge that gap – empowering people to make informed choices and reduce social isolation.
Partner organisations attending the Hull event will include providers of housing advice, health information, volunteering and employment opportunities and inclusive community activities.
