Advocacy Support
- Do you want support to Speak Up and be heard on a matter relating to disability?
- Feeling overwhelmed and not sure where to turn?
- Want to make your life better?
We can offer 1-1 advocacy support, where a peer mentor who also has lived experience of disabling barriers, will listen to what you want to achieve and help you to set and work towards your personal goals.
We also have Speak Up advocacy groups where you can talk with people who share similar experiences and empower each other. Sometimes we also invite guest speakers to talk about things like human rights, hate crime and other things people want to discuss.
