Bromley Together run a number of different groups for adults over 18 with a learning disability or learning difficulty who live independently in the community with little or no support, or who live in supported living.
The groups we run include a Speaking Up Group, a Members meeting, a Creative Voices Together Group, a Lads group and a Ladies group and a Getting Older Lunch Group.
