About People First Dorset

People First Dorset is a pioneering organisation dedicated to empowering individuals with learning disabilities and autism across the Dorset region. Our mission is to promote independence, choice, and control for our members, ensuring that they have a voice in the decisions that affect their lives.

We offer a range of services designed to support personal development and community engagement. These include advocacy, social activities, and skills training, all tailored to meet the unique needs of each individual. Our team of experienced professionals works closely with members to create personalised plans that foster growth and confidence.

At People First Dorset, we believe in the importance of inclusion and representation. We actively encourage our members to participate in local decision-making processes, ensuring their perspectives are heard and valued. Our advocacy work extends beyond our immediate community, as we strive to influence policy changes at a regional and national level.

We are committed to creating a supportive environment where everyone can thrive. Our facilities are designed to be accessible and welcoming, providing a safe space for individuals to connect and learn from one another. Through workshops, events, and social gatherings, we cultivate a sense of belonging and camaraderie among our members.

As a not-for-profit organisation, we rely on the generosity of our supporters and volunteers. Their contributions enable us to expand our services and reach more individuals in need. We are always looking for new partnerships and collaborations to enhance our impact within the community.

Join us in our journey to make a difference in the lives of those we serve. Together, we can build a brighter future for individuals with learning disabilities and autism in Dorset.
