Could you help shape plans to support people with learning disabilities?


In Barnsley, we want to make sure people with learning disabilities can get the right support and advice to help them live happier, healthier, fulfilling lives.


That’s why we’re excited to invite anyone over the age of 16 with learning disabilities, their loved ones and carers to Barnsley Metrodome for our special My Big Voice event.

Taking place in the Rigby Suite at Barnsley Metrodome on Thursday 11 April, we have lots planned to help guests learn more about the brilliant services we already have in Barnsley. There will also be plenty of interactive ways for you to help shape our plans for the future.
