User-led, it is run by its members, employing people with learning disabilities, and offering them voluntary opportunities.
Members receive one to one support, information, advice and signposting.
CLASP also runs a disability awareness training group, Listen To Us, a campaigning group called Take Notice, and social clubs and events throughout the week.
