Winchester Go LD

Winchester Go LD enables adults with learning disabilities to live life to the full with the choices and independence that they want. We promote self development, friendship, self confidence, creativity and learning. We try to share the experience, skills and talents of our members; we recognise that our members are experts through their lived experience of learning disabilities.


We have a range of weekly and monthly activities and we provide advocacy, information, safeguarding and skills workshops. We respect and promote the rights of people with a learning disability and their families to speak up on issues. We aim to raise awareness, change attitudes and influence policy. We also like to have fun!

Please visit our What’s On page for details of all our groups.

This is what we do (our Mission)

  • Empower members with the confidence, choice and control they need to set their own goals.
  • Enable people with LD to learn, develop, and strengthen their skills and capabilities.
  • Work with our members to build a collective voice and improve understanding of the lived experience of people with learning disabilities.
  • Work with our members, their families, local service providers and the wider community to inspire more effective and inclusive practice.

Here are the words that our members have used to describe what we do

Make a donation

Staff are committed to continuing the vital work that Winchester Go LD does at a time where our members need it the most – support for social isolation, healthy living, loneliness, exercise, companionship, reassurance. Our work relies on your donations and we need you to support us – however big or small.

Donations can be made here.  Your funding can really make a difference.
