          We give Advocacy Matters (Wales) ideas about what people                        with learning disabilities want from their service.                   

 

 

 

We have a Taking Part Worker called Jo who helps us to work as a group.  We are very important to Advocacy Matters (Wales).

We were presented with certificates at the AGM this year because they value our hard work and our ideas.
