Hear Us Heroes

As part of our Learning Disability and Autism support, we deliver a unique project called 'Hear Us Heroes'.

This warm and welcoming group meets regularly at Care Network, and is for local people, carers and/or family members of those in Blackburn with Darwen with lived experience of Learning Disabilities, Autism and Neurodiverse Conditions.

What began as a monthly group has now grown into a number of sessions and events for our community, run by our dedicated Learning Disability and Autism team - Victoria, Michelle and Philomena.

What we do and our ground rules

We come together to talk about things that affect our lives, to support each other, and to advise others about how our lives can be improved. Professionals are welcome to come and ask questions about how we feel about various issues.

We celebrate and advocate for local people living with Learning Disabilities, Autism and Neurodiverse conditions - raising awareness, helping to make voices heard and highlighting our vibrant community.

Get involved with Hear Us Heroes:
