Welcome to Bexley and Bromley Advocacy

We are an independent advocacy project for people with a learning disability and Autism.
We work in partnership with people with a learning disability.

We represent their interests at all times and we will support them to:

Make their own decisions
Communicate their decisions and opinions
Take part in community life.

We have a self advocacy project run by people with a learning difficulty.

We think it is very important that people are involved in our project. People have told us this shows what they can do and not what they can't do.

We believe in ability and not disability.

Peter says 'I found Laura very helpful and understanding. She tells me what is going to happen in the near future. If I have any problems I can talk it through and she helps to sort it out'.
Laura says 'I have learnt about the problems that people with learning disabilities sometimes face and have been able to solve them'.
