Get involved

We are working on a project to share the history of people with a learning disability in Portsmouth.

If you have a learning disability and live in Portsmouth, we would like to hear from you.

You can come to us at Aspex, Portsmouth or we can come to you. We will record an interview with you led by our group of researchers with a learning disability.

We would like to know about you and your life story. We will share and celebrate your stories.

If you would like to share your story with us, please email: nathalie@thisnewground.com
