For the first day of Learning Disability Week 2025, we focused on identity and celebrating who each person truly is. Across Liaise homes, we shared brilliant photos and videos capturing people’s personalities, from one‑page profile words like “I’m kind” or “I’m a dancer,” to joyful snapshots of everyday character.
Staff also shared what they love most about their roles, reflecting the meaningful relationships that bring our homes to life.
What Learning Disability Week Means
Learning Disability Week 2025, with the theme “Do you see me?”, is about ensuring people with a learning disability are seen, heard and valued in society, in communities and in everyday life. It is a national moment that champions visibility, inclusion and recognition of people’s identities and contributions.
Day 1 has been a joyful start; rich with personality, self‑expression and the kind of moments that remind us why every voice matters
