Speak up groups
Our groups help you get your voice heard and influence local services in your area. Find one near you.
Everyone has the right to be heard
Our speak up groups support people whose voices are too easily overlooked to have a say, share their experiences, and influence local services.
Members of our Speak Up groups play a vital role in making sure the voices of service users shape decisions that affect their lives.

We run speaking up and self-advocacy groups across London. Here are just a few of them.
Why Join a Speaking Up Group?
Joining a speaking up group can make a real difference – both personally and in your community. Our groups help people to:
- Build confidence
- Speak up about the issues that matter to them
- Learn about their rights
- Get involved in planning and improving services
Speaking up is about making my own choices, about being in control.
People don’t listen to us – we get pushed out. Together, people listen to us.
Speaking up gives me confidence and makes me feel strong.
I used to be quiet, but now I feel that I can express myself.
