Situation
1 in 5 people in the UK has a communication difficulty, facing barriers to understanding others and/or expressing themselves. The includes people with learning disabilities and autism, or who have had a stroke. As an 'invisible' disability, there’s limited understanding of how to help and as the world grapples with economic and political pressures, people with communication needs are often further silenced and face extra burdens.
Solution
With donations, Include.org can enhance inclusion and build a stronger communities by delivering more vital services, in more places, with greater impact and beneficiary empowerment. Beneficiaries are empowered to make key decisions and to self-advocate, raising awareness of the rights of people with communication needs and helping to train the community in things like Makaton signing and The Mental Capacity Act.
