ALT The Assembly are hosting their December meeting at GCIL offices and have invited our members along to attend their social event, where you can meet other young people. What is the Assembly? The Assembly is a growing group of people with learning disabilities and autistic people across Scotland who want a greater say in issues affecting them locally and nationally.
