SPRED exists to promote the inclusion of people living with learning disabilities in Catholic parishes throughout the Archdiocese of Glasgow. We achieve these objectives by running a network of groups which support people with learning disabilities to grow in faith and to take part in the spiritual and social life of the parish. Groups are mainly run by volunteers who have completed appropriate training for their roles. Groups are supported by the SPRED staff who recruit and train volunteers for the groups, support parishes and prepare the materials used in SPRED group sessions. The SPRED staff also work with families of people with learning disabilities and with schools who are looking for support for sacramental preparation for their Catholic pupils.
