Members
Vocal is a membership organisation, encouraging people with learning disabilities and communication difficulties who have used our advocacy service, to become involved in its development.
Our Members are at the heart of the organisation, and their input informs everything we do.
'Members are involved in all areas of the organisation, there is a real sense of true co-production and shared ownership' - QPM assessor
Our members, staff, volunteers and trustees meet regularily to review the activities of the organisation and to plan future work. These meetings are also partly social events, where Members, Staff and Trustees can interact with each other.
Our members, are also invited to attend bi-monthly meetings held in Torbay, West Devon and Teignbridge, and we are working towards expanding.
Member’s participation includes: raising the profile of advocacy, supporting local fund raising, producing our newsletter, contributing to advocacy awareness training sessions, producing documents in easy read (including our own policies) recruiting new staff members and peer advocacy.
