People with learning disabilities are being invited to take part in a free fun day today as part of National Learning Disability Week.

The event has been organised by Barnet Primary Care Trust, the borough's health authority, and the Barnet branch of the charity Mencap, to help people with learning disabilities to learn about how they can stay healthy.

The day will begin at 10am and will be opened by former Casualty actress Sarah Manners, with activities from dance sessions to beauty therapy and hairdressing, as well as a free lunch.

It will take place at the Trinity Centre, 15 Nether Street, North Finchley, and run until 4pm.
