People with learning disabilities have these three things:

• global intellectual impairment (intelligence quotient less than 70), and
• need for support/help to fulfil ordinary daily activities, and
• onset before the age of 18 years.

The three areas of activity that the charity wishes to support are:

• Interventions that support families and help them in ways that prevent the fracture of the family unit, eg practical family support, relationship counselling, mediation
• Families where sexual abuse, physical abuse, domestic violence, alcohol abuse and drug abuse threaten the integrity of the family unit
• Prisoners and in particular their families, during and after the period of imprisonment
