3. What we do
and communities.
Working together in
partnership to develop more
inclusive communities.

4. What is an inclusive community?
– Where the whole community values its members,
because of, not despite of, their differences.
– Where everyone in the community feels safe and has
an equal voice in helping shape the community and
has a sense of purpose and belonging.
– The community approach doesn’t sit within a
programme or a service. It is Leonard Cheshire’s
ethos, the way we work as an organisation with the
interests of people with disabilities and long term
conditions at the centre of everything we do.

10. The difference involvement made to the people

It gave me
a reason to
put my best
shirt on.
It gave me a
reason to get
out of bed.
It has felt
good,
actually
brilliant.
Happy, a
lot happy.
A very big
difference to
people.
Being part of
this has made
me feel
included.
It was a
supportive
bubble.
