L'Arche exists to be a beacon of brilliant care and real community, for a more human society.
Around 1.5 million people in the United Kingdom have learning disabilities. Too many of those who require support in their daily life are let down by a failing social care system. And there is a common misperception that life with a learning disability is a life of hardship and misery.
We want to change that, by showing:
It takes relationships for people to thrive. And we believe our society is more human when people with learning disabilities are flourishing and contributing to it.
Every L’Arche Community is a living testimony to the importance of each individual person on this planet - Julia, mother of a member of L'Arche with a learning disability
