Back to life together 2021-22

It was quite a year! The COVID lockdowns felt never-ending. We couldn’t see the people we loved. Some of the rules were confusing and unfair on people with learning disabilities.

But last year, we started to come back to life

Our workshops reopened. We went on holidays and started to socialise again. We brought the L’Arche experience back to the wider world. We modelled how to do friendship, spirituality and community. We raised our voice to improve care services, and for people with disabilities in Ukraine.

Now there’s so much more we want to do

Read our latest Impact Report about what happened last year and what we have started doing to come back to life together.

Helen Hayes, MP

"It was so good to hear about the issues that matter to you in our local community and in our country. Speaking with you will help me to represent you better in my work as your local MP."
The 50 Challenge

Roll up your sleeves and take part in The 50 Challenge to raise funds for our Jubilee year. You could eat 50 grapes in 50 seconds or create a 50-hour-long playlist and nominate 50 people to donate.
Power Cuppas

We are set to host 50 POWER CUPPAS in L’Arche Communities up and down the country. The idea is to get influential people to come, have tea, meet and hang out with people in L’Arche, who don’t often get to speak to power.

"The public aren't in large numbers voting for these issues. Politicians tend to respond a lot to where the public's focused so it's really incumbent upon civil society movements to speak up."
