Rutland Disabled Youth Forum (RDYF)

We are a group of young people aged 13-25 with a variety of disabilities.

We make sure our voices are heard about the services, facilities and accessibility in and around Rutland by feeding back to the relevant organisation.

We meet on the first Wednesday of each month, 6-8pm at the Rutland Family Hub Children's Centre in Oakham unless it is half-term/holiday then we will meet somewhere different.  

Meetings are FREE, and there is a different topic each month.   

Support from volunteers and refreshments are provided, usually PIZZA!  

There is no need to book but please let us know via email if you're interested in joining our group! :-)

You can see a summary of our meetings in the downloads section of this page.

We can also provide Includeme2 training to any local community group, organisation or employer.

We have worked with the Youth Council and SUSO to create a Youth Charter saying how we want to work with Rutland County Council.

Here is a video that we created to help pupils going from Year 6 to Year 7 settle in to life at secondary school.
