• We offer training and ongoing support
• You can learn new skills
• Challenging and rewarding work
• No experience necessary

We need volunteers to help people with a learning disability and/or Autism to speak up for themselves. Advocates make sure that people's views are heard and that they get the help they need. Advocates make a real difference to people's lives.

My advocate comes to my meetings with me, he helps me to say what I want

Once you have completed your training and feel confident, we will introduce you to a person who needs help to resolve an issue. You don’t need to have a lot of time to spare but you do need to be reliable.

Would you be interested in supporting people to run their own groups? There are lots of ways you can help! See our Contact us page for more details, or fill in an application form and send it to us.
