Advocacy Partners Speaking Up provides advocacy services, self advocacy based projects and resources for people with learning difficulties, mental health issues and physical disabilities.
Advocacy Partners Speaking Up’s purpose is to enable people who face disadvantage or discrimination to have a voice that counts. We enable people to live life to the full and to have rights that are respected.
We provide independent and flexible services that are tailored to the needs of each person and are working to create positive social change by communicating the views of people who use our services.
