The LUNA Project is a charity that seeks to support and raise awareness of young people with chronic illnesses, disabilities, and long-term health conditions.
We believe a key way to do this is friendship.
We want to empower young people with disabilities to talk to their friends and peers about their disability and the ways their friends could support them, and to equip able-bodied young people with the tools to support their peers and friends with disabilities.
We also push for wider awareness, because we believe that a world which recognises young people with disabilities is the first step in a world that works for young people and disabilities. Hand in hand with this goes providing the right information and tools – both to disabled and able-bodied young people – which can be seen in our work with workshops, resources, and our blog.
We are a charity run by young people, for young people.
Resources
A big part of what we do at LUNA is creating resources for young people that we wished we had growing up. These are all written by young people with lived experience of a health condition or disability with input from professionals. Check out our different series of resources below!
Workshops
We have been delivering workshops for both children & young people and professionals for several years.
Every workshop is facilitated by skilled LUNA volunteers who bring a wealth of lived experience to each slide and conversation point.
