Building Circles Creating lasting friendships for adults with learning disabilities. Welcome to the page for Building Circles! Charity Number: 1178538

Here at Building Circles we know that sometimes people with Learning Disabilities and their families and carers can sometimes feel “cut off” or lonely. Building Circles are a charity that offers them the opportunity to enjoy a more fulfilling life. We train and support volunteers who offer friendship to people with learning disabilities and their families. It is our mission to provide life enhancing opportunities for socially isolated people with moderate to very complex needs. We aim to be a quality provider, ensuring excellent training and continuing support is given to volunteers to establish and maintain friendships with individuals and their families. We seek to extend opportunities for social interaction by offering a range of community activities for all participants.
