Speak Out has been an independent advocacy charity in Brighton and Hove since 1994. We make sure that people with learning disabilities can speak up and take action about the things that matter to them. We want a world where people with learning disabilities have the same rights, choice and control over their lives as everyone else. We provide advocacy services, which means we listen to people wit

h learning disabilities and work with them to express their views, have control over their lives and be an active part of the community. There are two main aspects to our work:

1) We support people with the personal issues that affect them. We work with people to express their opinions about choices and changes in their life, including access to the services and support they need.

2) We support people to influence changes in the community that will benefit everyone with a learning disability. We enable people with a learning disability to come together to express their views when changes are being planned or might be needed to the services they use.

Say hello to Audrey, Speak Out’s new Social Prescribing champion!

Audrey first joined Speak Out as a volunteer a couple of years ago, and has since taken on coordinating some of our drop-ins. From April this year, Speak Out joined the Social Prescribing partnership with Together Co, and Audrey is our Social Prescribing Champion!

Social Prescribing gives you the time to talk about what matters to you in your life and what would make you happier. Audrey can support you by recommending activities, clubs or services that can help you.
