Young Voices for Choices is a youth forum for young people with additional learning needs and disabilities, providing a safe and supportive space to share their views, discuss issues that affect them, and work together to make positive change.
The group also gives members opportunities to influence local services, plan and run awareness-raising activities, build confidence, make friends, and have fun while making a real difference.
Every two weeks on a Monday evening 4:00pm – 6:00pm
