Self-Advocacy Volunteer

Our Self Advocacy groups are led by people with learning disabilities

Could you help us make a difference?

They are safe spaces where people:

Speak up for their rights and help others do the same
Support each other to say what they think and what they need
Share ideas and information
Can learn and gain new skills
Plan and work together for change
Meet new people and make friends
Develop a stronger community and social networks
Can teach people in the community about the rights, needs and issues of people with a learning disability
Create strength in numbers
Make change and let other people know what we want to change
Can understand and find out about their rights
No meeting is ever the same due to what people who attend have to say
Our meetings must have some laughter and fun in them, or people will choose not to attend
We do talk about serious stuff, but we don’t want people leaving without someone to talk to at home
