Working in partnership
with people with
learning disabilities
The Sunnybank Trust is a charity working to combat isolation, build skills, foster independence and ensure that the voices of people with learning disabilities are heard.
What we do
Our programmes and services are here to help people with learning disabilities feel connected, confident, and supported in everyday life.
Whether it’s building friendships, speaking up through advocacy, or joining in with activities like bowls and drama, everything we do is about celebrating people’s strengths and supporting them to be active, valued members of the community.

Our Mission
We know from the people we support that many are extremely lonely, due to lack of social opportunities, poor levels of literacy, lack of accessible information and being digitally excluded in an increasingly digital world.
-
Research shows that young people with learning disabilities have fewer friends and take part in fewer activities than their peers without learning disabilities.

In Surrey, there are an estimated 21 000 people with learning disabilities, only a quarter receive any form of social care support.
-
The life expectancy of people with learning disabilities is 20 years lower than the general population.

40% of people with learning disabilities still live with parents aged over 60.
