North West Regional Forum, Blackpool, 24th February, 2016

We were delighted to be invited back to Blackpool for this year’s regional forum.  You can find out more about self-advocacy in the North West here.

The annual Forum is an opportunity for 120 self-advocates from across the North West to come together to talk about the issues that matter to them.

Katherine said: “I would like to thank the Forum for inviting us again this year to talk about our research findings.  It was great to be able to talk about the work with self-advocates at the conference and I’m looking forward to visiting some of the local self-advocacy groups to tell them more.
