L'Arche UK Leadership

The National Leadership Team, governed by the National Board, leads on national projects and strategies in partnership with Leaders from each of the eleven L’Arche Communities in the UK. 

Our leadership is guided by our belief in mutual relationship and service. As a diverse body, including people of all abilities, we look for opportunities to promote the voice and leadership of people with learning disability in and beyond L’Arche.
