Several of the members from Building Bridges Training were volunteers at the Inclusion International World Congress at the International Conference Centre in Birmingham which took place between 30 May to 1 June 2020.

The event was attended by people from over 70 countries to share stories of inclusion and good practice in promoting the rights of people with a learning disability.
