ABOUT L’ARCHE 

L’Arche is a worldwide federation of people with and without learning disabilities, working together for a world where all belong. We believe in the transforming impact of genuinely mutual relationships between people with and without disabilities.

In the UK, L’Arche is a registered charity with 11 Communities across England, Scotland and Wales. We celebrate people with learning disabilities, and build communities with them rather than for them.

“Quite simply being part of L’Arche is being loved for who you are.”
