How we do co-production
Everything we do is shaped by our work alongside people with learning disabilities. We meet with our Expert Advisers every week. Our Newton Project connects us with 36 self-advocacy groups up and down the UK. And as always, actors with learning disabilities are at the heart of our images. Everyone is paid well for their work - no vouchers or gift cards - just proper pay for proper work.
Meet some of our actors
Here are some of the people who've appeared in the Photosymbols library. Their faces help thousands of people understand important information every day.
What people say about us
“Just to say – thank you. Again you quickly created or foregrounded images that supported people to understand and respond to recent events. You never fail to support us all.”
“Photosymbols is an invaluable resource for our charity. Their images are relatable, engaging, and we love that they are all created with genuine input from people with learning disabilities.”
“We use Photosymbols for all our meeting minutes, agendas and co-production project plans. We love that the images are easy to understand and feature people with disabilities, of different ages, from different backgrounds.”
