Workshops for disabled people and people with long-term conditions
‘I don’t know what was first, my confidence growing and then finding out new things, or learning new
things has made me more confident.’
Our workshops help people:
- learn new skills
- increase their knowledge
- meet new people
- increase their confidence
in a relaxed and friendly atmosphere.
Every workshop includes a talk from one of the LCiL Champions – disabled people who share their own experience of the topic.
Workshops are free and run from 10.30am to 12.30 or 1pm, with lunch afterwards.
Refreshments and lunch are provided, and we can organise and pay for transport for people who live in Edinburgh or the Lothians.
