VoiceAbility are looking for groups to build a Manchester Advocacy Alliance together.

Everyone has the right to be informed, involved, heard, and to have control over ad challenge decisions about their health, care, and treatment. However, many people are unaware of these rights, are unable to express themselves in ways in which they are heard, or face situations where their choices are ignored or overruled.
