Flora London Marathon - Good Luck!

Thank you to all of our 25 runners who will be taking part in the Flora London Marathon this Sunday whilst raising money for United Response at the same time.


Your support is invaluable to our work and we’d like to wish you the best of luck for the big day!


We look forward to seeing you at our post race reception party – where we will treat you to a well deserved shower and massage.

United Response's Employment Summit

Despite the fact that two thirds of people with learning disabilities want to work, less than one in five are given the opportunity.


That's why on May 15th, we will be holding a business breakfast exploring the barriers people with learning disabilities face in finding employment and ways to support them.


Phil Hope, minister for the third sector, and Susan Scott Parker, chief executive of the Employer's Forum On Disability, will be among the senior spokespeople from the public and private sector, while employers and employees will be sharing their real life experiences. The event, sponsored by Unum, will be held in London.


If you would like to know more about the event, you can email laura.golland@unitedresponse.org.uk
