We are a membership and user led organisation, run and controlled by disabled people. We promote independent living for disabled people in Sheffield. By independent living we mean that disabled people have the same freedom and rights to exercise choice and control over their own lives as any other person.
If you have a learning disability and/or autism we’d love you to join us at our next Sheffield Voices Big Voice event on Friday 10th October from 10am to 2pm at St Mary’s Church. This time we’re exploring what it means to be safe and well in Sheffield and we’ll also provide lunch!
