CAPS Independent Advocacy
- VO106299
Do you have a neurological condition?
Do you live in Edinburgh or the Lothians or access social care services there?
You can get involved in this Collective Advocacy project to have your voice heard. This is not a traditional volunteering opportunity. It allows you to come together with others to use your lived experience of a neurological condition.
You’ll meet like-minded people and help make sure that people with neurological conditions have their say about the provision of social care services.
Your voice will help to improve social care services for people with neurological conditions and increase understanding and information about living with these conditions.
Being involved will also help you to increase your awareness and understanding of your rights and options. People who participate in Collective Advocacy at CAPS value the sense of community and purpose it creates and how it helps to reduce isolation.
Please email [email protected] for further information.
Experience required
No particular skills are required but you should have your own lived experience of a neurological condition
