Association for Real Change NI

The Association for Real Change is a leading umbrella body representing service providers in the learning disability sector.

Our purpose is to improve the quality of life for people who have a learning disability by supporting anyone who is involved in the planning or delivery of support and services.

The Association for Real Change is a leading umbrella body representing service providers in the learning disability sector. Our vision is to be the first choice for:

  • Providers across all sectors including the public, voluntary and independent sectors, who want to improve how they support people who have a learning disability.
  • People who have a learning disability who want to be involved with improving outcomes and how their support is planned and run at a local and national level, just like our work with the National Involvement Network in Scotland.
  • The Statutory Sector: Governments, Local Authorities and Regulators who want the best opportunity to engage effectively with the local sector and improve relationships between themselves and providers.

We exist to improve the quality of life for people who have a learning disability by supporting anyone who is involved in the planning or delivery of support and services.
