A Voice for All - promoting disability rights

Influencing and working together with services

Promoting improved access for all

Signposting people to advice, agencies and activities

Introduce a buddying system to support one another

The Chair, Vice Chair and Steering Group were elected at the meeting. Julie Sharp was unanimously agreed as Chair, Mary Jacques as Vice-Chair. Anyone who defines themselves as disabled can become a member free of charge.
