Our Story
York People First was set up in 2000 as an independent self advocacy group run and controlled by and for people with learning difficulties. We remain today to be the only organisation in York with a management board of trustees that are all people with learning difficulties.
We were set up by people with learning difficulties to promote the voices of people with learning difficulties. We did this to help us get our rights, be included in our communities and live independent lives.
We have over 20 years experience of speaking up and promoting the rights and independence of people with learning difficulties in York.
