LD Fair: Your Next Step After Education – 27th May

If you or someone you know is finishing education this summer and is wondering what comes next, join us for the LD Fair on May 27th, 2025. Drop in any time from 10 AM to 2 PM.  FREE but ticketed to ensure you have a parking space – scroll down and book a slot please.

This event is designed to help those with learning disabilities explore the opportunities, resources, and support available for their next chapter.

What to Expect

The LD Fair will feature organisations and services offering guidance, opportunities, and activities to help individuals transition smoothly from education into the next phase of life.

You’ll be able to connect with:

  • Blue Apple: offer creative arts experiences for individuals with learning disabilities, including acting, dancing, singing, and film performances, both on stage and at festivals.
  • Boaz Project – offering work-based opportunities in horticulture, agriculture, cooking, crafts, woodwork, and caring for chickens and donkeys, all within a Christian ethos.
  • Gateway: offers recreational activities in a safe and social environment for adults with learning disabilities.
  • Perlins: offer a range of activities, including pottery, yoga, maintenance, woodwork, and animal work, to help adults with learning disabilities, complex needs, and autism build skills and independence.
  • Peter Symonds: offer small, supportive classes for students with learning disabilities to improve maths, English, and computing skills at their own pace, with activities like Book and Film Club, Computer Club, Enterprise, and Number Fun.
  • Winchester Go LD: offer adults with learning disabilities to build confidence, creativity, and learning through regular sessions, including tai chi, boxing, and fitness classes.

This event is for LD students leaving education, for example, Sparsholt College and Osborne College, but also for anyone who is looking for a day support service where adults with learning disabilities are supported to participate in a range of activities.

Event Highlights

  • Donkey Walk: Join us for a special Donkey Walk around the venue at around 1pm—sure to be a fun experience for everyone!
  • Lunch: We’ll be serving up some tasty sausages and rolls, so you can enjoy a bite while exploring the fair and chatting with our exhibitors.

This event is fully accessible, but it would be helpful to know if you have any special requirements.

Mark your calendars for May 27th, 2025, from 10 AM to 2 PM, and get ready for an enjoyable day.
