The motion

That this House commemorates Learning Disability Week 2025; notes that this year’s theme is Do You See Me, which aims to ensure that people with a learning disability are seen, heard, included, and valued in all aspects of life, while celebrating the contributions that people with learning disabilities make to society; congratulates The Yume Project in Newbury, West Berkshire, an independent provider of day activities for adults with learning disabilities, on hosting a free arts exhibition to mark Learning Disability Week; recognises the hard work and dedication of The Yume Project, which was formed by a group of former care workers made redundant after cuts to the council’s adult social care services in 2011, with the council subsequently providing funding and training to help the group become established and support those without access to services; and calls on the Government to provide additional support to local authorities to help sustain projects such as this.
