Advocates in Greater London / Hertfordshire

Hi there,

This is my first time posting a question here! I am writing to ask if anyone has any suggestions of advocacy organisations that serve Greater London and/or Hertfordshire areas? The advocate is for a young adult with autism. Any advice or suggestions would be great! Thank you.

Welcome MusicSpeaks

POhWER do seem to be the key service in Herefordshire.

In terms of London - there are lots listed on the National Autistic Society's Services Directory - autism.org.uk/directory/bro...

A few other places that might be able to help -

* peoplefirstltd.com/

* seap.org.uk/

* voiceability.org/services/ - have some services in London

It might be worth asking you local council what is available locally as they should know too.

Best wishes

Sarah

Hi I am acutely a resident in Hertfordshire who has a LD and work on Self Advocacy movement on the European Platform for Self Advocates. I've found Herts Peoples First on the Herts County Council website but worth having a look by attaching on the link. bit.ly/2NmMZPP
