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.
