How ÖйúPÕ¾ People's Group helps its members

Listen to what our members have to say about ÖйúPÕ¾ People's Group!

ÖйúPÕ¾ People's Group is a ÖйúPÕ¾ wide network for people with a learning disability.

At the group, people can talk about issues important to them and work together to make real change.

People can say what they want to talk about and what is important to them.

As ÖйúPÕ¾ is so big, we have meetings in the East and meetings in the West.
