The Elfrida Society is a charity working with people with learning difficulties in North London.photo showing a demonstration of discrimation



We believe that people with learning difficulties are
excluded from society because their strengths are not valued and their needs are not recognised.


The aim of the Elfrida Society is to make it possible for people with learning difficulties to manage as much of their lives as they want and feel able to.




We do this by:

  • working with people with learning difficulties to identify what they want to do and what support they need to do it
  • pioneering new approaches, and developing and managing innovative projects

  • promoting the rights of people with learning difficulties to be involved in society

  • publishing Community Living magazine which campaigns for real social inclusion for people with learning difficulties
