The Perfect Start: New service opens doors for local people with learning disabilities

In partnership with the London Borough of Hillingdon, we have recently launched a unique new skills centre for people with learning disabilities in Uxbridge Town Centre.

The centre offers local people with learning disabilities the opportunity to develop the life skills and experience they need to move towards greater independence and employment.

United Response's Chief Executive, Su Sayer said:

"People with learning disabilities often feel isolated and disconnected from the community around them. Perfect Start is all about rebuilding these links.

"Perfect Start's central location is key to this. It means that there are plenty of opportunities, right on the doorstep, for people to use the new skills they are learning and to play a greater role in the life of the local area."
