Hull & East Riding: “Keeping People Connected” project

This is a free service for those aged 18+ who live in Hull, the East Riding, and North Lincolnshire. 

East Riding of Yorkshire Council, Hull City Council, North Lincolnshire Council local authorities and Inclusion North are co-ordinating an urgent response, in relation to Covid-19, to support neurodivergent people (i.e., those with Autism, and/or ADHD, and/or a Learning Disability) who do not usually access local services or support, for whatever reason, and who are vulnerable in terms of their disability, learning or mental health needs.

Some people who have a Learning Disability, and/or Autism, and/or ADHD, may be having difficulty in dealing with the adjustments and compromises demanded by the current health emergency. The new “Keeping People Connected” project aims to help this group of people by connecting with them during this current situation; to provide information, up-to-date guidance, reassurance and practical support. Choices & Rights Disability Coalition, alongside colleagues at Autism Plus, Matthew’s Hub, Cloverfield Advocacy and Healthwatch North Lincolnshire, are participating in this new, free service for those aged 18+ who live in Hull, the East Riding, and North Lincolnshire
