We provide statutory advocacy services and deliver services for people with learning disabilities and autistic people.
About us
Your Voice Counts is a charity that works across the North East to provide support to people with learning disabilities, autistic people and people who are at risk of exclusion due to disability, illness or other challenges. We provide a range of independent statutory and community advocacy services to help people who need support to be involved in important decisions about their lives (including their care, treatment and housing plans), making sure their wishes are heard and their rights are upheld. We also design and deliver learning, personal development and social opportunities for people with learning disabilities and autistic people and promote and support self-advocacy and user-led groups to help people be connected and speak up for themselves.
