People Matters creates opportunities for people with learning and other disabilities to be more independent and enjoy life in the same ways, and in the same places, as anybody else.

• Creating opportunities for people with learning and other disabilities to have key roles, paid and unpaid, in the running of the organisation
• Developing employment opportunities within the organisation, both paid and voluntary for people disadvantaged in the labour market
• Ensuring that staff and volunteers are supported and trained to work in ways that further the aims of the organisation
The services we offer include
• Community learning opportunities for adults with learning and other disabilities
• Leisure opportunities for adults and young people with learning and other disabilities
• 121 support for people with learning difficulties and other disabilities
