Get On Board

Get On Board is a community interest company (CIC). The company is run with and for people with learning disabilities. Get on Board replaced the Learning Disability Partnership Board (LDPB).

Get On Board has six Champions, who are all people with learning disabilities. The Champions go to different places and talk to other people with learning disabilities. They find out about what other people think and raise awareness about a range of topics to ensure they have equal life chances and the same human rights as everyone else.

The Champions also go out and deliver training to other groups and organisations, like the University of Northampton and Northamptonshire Police to make sure organisations are accessible for people with learning disabilities.
