Disco and drop in sessions mark highlights of Learning Disability Week
A series of events will take place across South Tyneside to mark Learning Disability Week.
South Tyneside Council is marking Learning Disability Week in the UK with a series of events including a community disco.
The week is led by charity Mencap as a way to ensure people with learning disabilities are seen, heard and valued.
A series of events organised by the Council will host events to ensure these voices remain heard and understood.
This will start with a launch of the events at 10am on Monday, June 15 at The Word in South Shields before drop-in sessions throughout the week.
Fun community sessions will get underway with a Wizard Of Oz singalong at AutismAble on Wednesday, June 17. The same day will see a networking event take place at Route2Work College.
Back at The Word, a free daytime disco will take place on Thursday, June 18 between 1pm and 3pm, bringing the week to a close.
A full list of Council events can be found on the local authority’s website.
