1. Causeway Prospects
We think of Causeway Prospects as a mission to people with learning disabilities. There are over 1.4 million people with learning disabilities in the UK; they are in every parish and every community, and they need to know that Jesus loves them. Causeway Prospects provides advice, training and resource materials to equip churches for effective ministry and outreach among people dearly loved by God and often marginalised by society.
Causeway Prospects runs meetings at several events and organises training and ministry events all over the UK. With 30 years of experience and a developing range of resource materials Causeway Prospects is well placed to support churches as they meet the needs and challenges presented.
We would love to support you and your church in any way we can.

2. Churches for All
Churches are often missing out on a vital piece of the puzzle - a large piece: in Britain there are 9.5* million adults who have a recognised disability - over one fifth of the adult population. A further 700,000* children have one or more disabilities.
Actually, 95% of us will experience disability at some time during our life. One day you may well enter your church as a disabled person.
Likening the church to the human body Paul, the apostle, wrote: “those parts that seem to be weaker are indispensable.” - the Church is losing out when it fails to include those parts.
