Heads Up for Inclusion

Heads Up for Inclusion Promoting opportunities for people with and without disabilities to develop meaningful relationships.

We work with volunteers in schools and the community to create opportunities for young people of different abilities to learn and interact with each other. We plan special events or help young people plan their own activities where they can meet and bond. These relationships are fostered in schools and community spaces where everyone feels safe, welcome, and included.
