Centre for Inclusive Living Perth & Kinross

Hear Our Roar : Over the past year, Perth and Kinross HSCP has been working closely with the Centre for Inclusive Living Perth and Kinross (CILPK) to create Hear Our Roar, a group for adults with learning disabilities living in Perth and Kinross.

The goal of this group is to ensure their voices are heard. People with learning disabilities have a strong voice, but they often face barriers and are not always taken seriously. Hear our Roar aims to change that. It provides a safe space for members to speak up, connect with leaders and influence decisions that affect their lives.

From the start, it was agreed this group should be led by people with learning disabilities. After three successful meetings at the Y Centre in Perth, the first meeting of 2025 was a big moment—members voted for their new leaders!

Hear our Roar is a safe space for people to share ideas, concerns, and opinions, ensuring that issues affecting people with learning disabilities get the attention they deserve. With our new leaders now in place, we’re excited to see what the future holds!

Disability Champions take on more responsibilities within the organisation. They play an active part when delivering training sessions or organising events.

The Disability Champions Meeting is to review and refresh activities aimed at improving accessibility within the community, specifically focusing on proposed projects and previous initiatives.
