In 1993, eleven families got together to start
the first club in the Kingston area aimed at young, able-bodied adults with
a mild learning disability. The members had a mixture of conditions but all
were able to interact one with one another. It is now a thriving club of 60
members in Kingston and the surrounding boroughs. The club became a charity
in 1997 and is a totally voluntary organisation. It is supported financially
by fundraising, donations and grants.
R.O.Y.A.D.'s
aim is to enhance the lives
of its members through developing social, physical, educational and personal
skills, which will help them achieve their maximum potential and level
of independence in life. |
R.O.Y.A.D.
members have the opportunity
to make new friends and learn awareness and appreciation of others. They
have their own Members’ Forum through which they influence the running
of the Charity. |
At
R.O.Y.A.D.
everyone makes a contribution and every carer is asked to volunteer some
of his or her spare time. If you have friends who would benefit from membership
and who live in our catchment area of about 10 miles around Kingston,
why not contact us and tell us about them. |

At
R.O.Y.A.D. members are referred

Currently we are changing the lives of 60 people who have mild learning disabilities. |
