Faith and Disability Roundtable Event

Include Me TOO are holding a  Faith and Disability Roundtable Event.

Over the years many families have shared with us the difficulties they have experienced in accessing their faith and cultural activities in their communities. They wish to be supported through raising disability awareness and understanding within their communities and how improvements can be made in accessing faith and cultural activities giving these families equal regard.

Date:     Thursday 25th July 2013

Time:    9.45am – 12.45pm

Venue:  Nishkam Centre, 6 Soho Road, Handsworth, Birmingham, B21 9BH  

Light refreshments will be provided.

This unique Roundtable Event will provide an opportunity to bring faith communities together and reflect on shared universal values. We will see how these values can be put into practice ensuring the spiritual and cultural needs of families with disabled children are supported.

Please come and share your views and help us to ensure this innovative Roundtable discussion changes lives.

The discussion will include: 

  • Working together to increase the awareness and understanding regarding disabilities in our faith communities?
  • Families sharing their experiences of having a disabled child and the challenges of being involved in their respective faith communities
