'I think that it is important that L’Arche can pass onto society that there are really great reasons why we would want to live together with people from all backgrounds. It’s not just that we tolerate difference – that’s not enough - not for L’Arche at least.' - Christos, from the L'Arche London Community. 

At L’Arche we are dedicated to building inclusive communities in which everybody is treated equally, with kindness and respect.

We value and celebrate diversity. Our Communities model our vision for a world where everybody belongs. L’Arche Communities are multicultural places where people from all over the world bring, reveal and share their gifts. People live together in community, learning from the vast lived experiences and identities of one another. We believe that our societies become rich, inspiring, and fairer places when each person is valued for who they are. As such, we encourage applications from everybody irrespective of religion, faith, disability, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, ethnicity, and age.

We welcome and encourage feedback of all kinds, and want and need to know about discrimination and prejudice. Please submit comments or complaints using the contact us button at the top of this page.
