Current Projects
The House of Deviant
Deviant by name, divergent by nature
The House of Deviant is a South Wales–based project that uses drag performance to help adults with learning disabilities build self-esteem, autonomy, and a stronger voice against isolation.
We’re proud to support the House of Deviant, but we’ll let them do the talking – check out their website for all the details.
LOVE SHACK
LOVE SHACK is Fflamingo’s creative, accessible programme exploring sex, relationships, identity, consent and connection with people with learning disabilities.
People with learning disabilities are too often excluded from honest conversations about sex and relationships — or only given information focused on risk and protection. LOVE SHACK creates space for something more: curiosity, choice, pleasure, confidence, connection and the right to make informed decisions.
Through co-produced workshops, social activities, accessible resources and professional training, participants can explore what healthy relationships look and feel like, ask questions without embarrassment and talk openly about the things that matter to them.
The programme is shaped alongside people with learning disabilities, recognising lived experience as expertise and ensuring their voices, priorities and ideas guide the work.
LOVE SHACK is honest, joyful and sometimes gloriously awkward — because everyone deserves accessible information, meaningful relationships and the confidence to make their own choices.
