Building community is a cohesive group effort on a daily basis that is available to all of our well-being. We all have a right to contribute to this community building that sustains us within a context that is meaningful. Nobody would remove this right from our own lives, so do not marginalise people with learning disability.

Are they now to be thrown away on the basis of decisions made by people who have lost their humanity and integrity?
This is morally wrong. To say that it is to improve survives rather than merely to cut costs in just a lie.

It offers practical skills, a sense of place, worth, friendship and the whole range of social and practical challenges we all face. There are many definitions of 'community' and Garvald embodies all of the most worthwhile elements. What is more, it is proven and highly valued by those who come into contact with it. Ultimately it is up to the individual where they choose to go and what they choose to do (not funding
