The Association for Real Change (ARC) is a forward thinking national charity supporting providers of Learning Disability and Autism services, and through a range of projects and services, people with a learning disability, autism, or other additional support needs, and their families.

With offices in England, Scotland and Northern Ireland, each nation country works to support the differing social care landscapes. We are known as ARC England, ARC Scotland and ARC Northern Ireland.

We want to help communities to respect, listen to and include people with a learning disability, autistic people and those with other support needs and their families.

To make this happen, we work alongside people and organisations throughout the United Kingdom that share our vision.

We make real change happen through:

• Research
• Networking
• Collective Advocacy
• Policy
• Training
