Joyful Rebellion in easy read
L’Arche UK is celebrating 50 years of joyful rebellion.
Since 1974, L’Arche has been a place for people who want change. People with and without learning disabilities.
In L’Arche, we create a different world every day. By being ourselves, together, in Community.
Our world is real, rowdy and relational. It’s individuals living life to the full. It’s people being there for each other in good times and bad. It’s beautiful. It’s a joyful rebellion worth celebrating.
