25 years of ladpp!!!

Happy Anniversary LADPP!!! This year the Latin American Disabled People’s Project is celebrating its 25th birthday!

We would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone who has supported us over the years, either by donating money, clothes or food, or by volunteering their valuable time to help others. The support of our clients, funders, trustees, staff, volunteers, as well as their family and friends has been invaluable over the years and we hope to continue working hard for as long as we are needed in the community.

To mark this significant milestone we asked the members of the organisation to write down their thoughts about the project. Take a look at what some of them had to say as well as a collection of photos from the organisation’s 25 year history:

" From Olga – For you Jhon Jairo and all the team at the organization and also the volunteers, many thanks for helping us all in the Latin community; thank you for all the support you have given me over many years and with every care; with the Job Centre and Disability L.A. Thank you to Mariana for your support in providing information for everyone and for your care."
..........................
"Thank you to the project for being the best, giving a good service and working for those in most need. It is very good what you do for those most in need.  Thank you."
.........................
"I have to thank the project and everyone there because it is always there to help us unconditionally – thank you."
.........................
"It is an organization that provides one of the best services in London to the people that need its help. They are always providing for our needs and doing so in the most appropriate way. I feel proud of the community for having this group of individuals who dedicate their time and their passion to give help to our people." 
..........................
"LADPP: Thanks to all our volunteers at LADPP. We have found a home where we receive a warm personal reception and the help needed to settle our lives."
