ENABLE Scotland

ENABLE Scotland was founded in 1954 by five sets of parents of children who had a learning disability. They fought for their children to have the same rights as everyone else.

As we celebrate our 65th anniversary in 2019, we continue to fight for an equal society for every person who has a learning disability.

As the largest member-led learning disability charity in Scotland, our members are the voice of our organisation. We listen to them and act on the issues they think are most important.

Every day we:

• Campaign to end discrimination and break down the barriers that prevent people who have a learning disability from living as equal members of society.
• Raise funds to support families who have nowhere else to turn, and create more opportunities for people who have a learning disability to make connections and be active in their communities.
• Provide personalised support that enables people who have a learning disability to find work, develop their skills and live the life they choose.

Whether you, a family member or someone you care for has a learning disability, ENABLE Scotland is here to listen, to support, and to help you speak up and be heard.

The Scottish Commission for Learning Disability (SCLD)

The Scottish Commission for Learning Disability (SCLD) is the lead strategic partner to the Scottish Government in delivery of learning disability strategy and policy.

We are committed to finding new and better ways to improve the lives of people with learning disabilities.
To do this we collect evidence, use this to inform policy development with the overall aim of changing systems and culture to ensure the inclusion of people with learning disabilities.
