21 May | The voluntary sector, learning disabilities, and digital technology

During Spring/Summer 2025, the Centre for Health Promotion Research at Leeds Beckett University are leading a series of online and in-person discussions about the voluntary sector, learning disabilities and/or autism, and digital inequalities.

These discussions are for academics, community and civil society organisations, local and national government, and service users to discuss current issues, research and priorities for the future.

Kris Southby, Anne-Marie Bagnall, Danielle Varley, and Jo Trigwell will share the results of an NIHR School for Social Care study they have recently completed.
