Making it happen

Tuesday 25 June 11.00am - 3.00pm

The Old Vic Theatre, The Cut, London SE1

Please find below, details for the "Making it happen" event which I have been asked to circulate. The event will take place on Tuesday 25 June 2002 11.00am - 3.00pm at The Old Vic Theatre The Cut London SE1.

In Lambeth, around 1000 people have a learning disability. At present, many of them do not get the chance to take part in the activities that other people take for granted. They want an opportunity to play a full role in the life of the borough.

Can you help make it happen?

We have arranged this event so that local businesses and communities can suggest what they can do to help build a borough that is inclusive and supportive of people with learning disabilities.

You could:

offer employment, either paid work or voluntary work

truly welcome people with learning disabilities to your business

provide special ticket prices once a week

develop friendships with people in your local area

This event - the first of its kind - is at London's Old Vic theatre, a high profile venue with a long history of working with the local community. You'll meet with other businesses and community groups in the borough, find out about current projects and developments, and help celebrate achievements.

And it won't be all talk. Lambeth College students with learning disabilities will use the stage of the Old Vic to entertain you; actor Trudie Goodwin, who plays Sgt June Ackland in The Bill, will be compere for the day; and you'll get the chance to relax over lunch prepared by Brixton Social Education Centre.
