ELFRIDA RATHBONE (CAMDEN) 

We run a specialist college for young people with learning disabilities, which prepares students for independent living and employment. We also deliver services to support families with multiple needs and a creative therapies project. In Kentish Town we run a volunteer programme, to give local people an active role in tackling issues around health and inequality.
