Equality Together - non-statutory advocacy

Non Statutory Self & Group Advocacy is about taking control of decisions about yourself and telling others what you want

At Equality Together, our aim is to help you speak up and have your voice heard. We’ve got a few ways of doing this. Equality Together hosts several User Groups and Forums. You can come to these groups and meet other people who also want their voice to be heard.

You might feel nervous or uncertain at first, and want to get to know the group before you speak up. That’s fine – we’re here to help you feel comfortable.

The User Groups and Forums talk about a lot of different things. There is normally a topic for each meeting. Some might affect you and others might not. They may be supported by member of Equality Together staff or run themselves. The people there will discuss the topic and use their experience to share opinions, discuss issues, and suggest solutions.
