CHANGE
CHANGE is part of the Advonet Group, a leader in Advocacy services in Leeds, UK. CHANGE operates on a co-working model which means employees with learning disabilities work alongside non-learning disabled colleagues with equal job responsibility and on equal pay. Employees with learning disabilities co-run projects, co-deliver training and co-create accessible information. Our volunteers with learning disabilities quality check accessible information and provide website and access audits. This ensures the views of people with learning disabilities are represented which enriches our understanding of the barriers and how to address them.
Most people with learning disabilities live in a world where decisions that affect them are made by non-learning disabled people.
We believe people with learning disabilities are the experts on the changes they need to lead a good quality of life and to get equal access to employment, healthcare, housing, community involvement and information they can understand.
