**Are you interested in chatting to people about learning disabilities?**

**Would you like to share your experiences in having a learning disability?**

**This could be the role for you**

We are looking for volunteers with a learning disability, or parents of someone with a learning disability, to join the the Wales Learning Disability Helpline team.

Volunteers will help at adhoc events and learning disability awareness sessions in the Cardiff and Vales of Glamorgan areas.

You will take an active part in the sessions, which are usually with external groups. This could be supporting the trainer with welcoming people, helping with discussions and then when you feel confident enough introducing and leading on some activities too.

In this role you will help change people’s attitudes towards learning disability. Mencap wants to speak alongside people with a learning disability, rather than for them.

What difference will I make?
