The Zoom In Group is part of the Advocacy Project which is at PCVS on Lincoln Road.

We have learnt how to use the computers and have set up this website for people with learning disabilities find out what's happening in Peterborough.

Speaking up for yourself and others helps you get your voice and opinion heard. We try to get people to make the right decisions about things that affect you.

At the same time you can  make new friends and listen to other people and overcome being shy.

At the moment we are a small group of adults with learning disabilities. There is:

Mark - I live on my own in a rented flat. I feel strongly about public transport and have been campaigning to get the free bus pass times changed so you can use it before 9.30am and get drivers trained so they understand that they need to support us when using th buses.

Michael - I have just turned 22 and I use the buses on my own. I go to college and do an Independent Living Course. I volunteer on Thursday mornings at Sue Ryder Care and at PCVS. I go to the Friday Social Group too.

I like going for walks and swimming and I watch the soaps at night.

John - I am the Co Chair of the Partnership Board, which means I have to go to meanings at the Fleet. I volunteer on Tuesdays at the Regional College helping people on the computers and on Wednesday's I go to Sundance House at Werrington on the computers.

I am a big fan of Peterborough United FC and go swimming and Ten Pin Bowling and Ice Hockey!!

Enzo - I am a member of a lot of self advocacy and disability groups. I like speaking up about issues that I think are important. I am the founder of the Lava Lamp club night, I love going out and socialising and think everyone should have the same chance to go out and enjoy themselves!

I like to watch the soaps at night and X Factor!!

This website will tell people about whats happening for people with leaning disabilities in Peterborough and how they can speak up for themselves.

 If you have news or events to do with Learning Disabilities let us know so we can tell people!!
