About the Service

Leep1 stands for Leeds People First. We are an organisation that supports adults with learning disabilities to speak up for themselves. This is called self-advocacy.

We are run and managed by adults with learning disabilities. Our members elect the management committee for Leep1 every year.

We currently have around 50 members who all have different roles and have helped Leep1 to be the thriving organisation it is today.

What Does the Service Do

Leep1 is a safe space for adults with learning disabilities. We have a self-advocacy service. It helps people with learning disabilities to be in control of their own organisation and to fulfil their lives with meaningful and enjoyable activities.

  • Learning skills
  • Social events
