Supporting Speak Out

For 27 years Brighton and Hove Speak Out has been supporting people with learning disabilities to have a voice and the same rights, choices and control over their lives as everyone else.

As a charity, working alongside the people we support, we’ve made a lot of progress, but we still hear first-hand about the challenges they face and how they continue to be marginalised and ignored.

People with learning disabilities are particularly vulnerable to loneliness and isolation. Many individuals are excluded and face discrimination in every aspect of their lives. Our work gives a voice to some of the most marginalised members of the community, enabling them to express their needs, deal with problems they are facing, access essential services and uphold their rights. We work to address the inequality, lack of understanding, incorrect perceptions and lack of support people with learning disabilities face.  

For some people Speak Out is their only support network. For others Speak Out provides support at a time of crisis. 

We want to support everyone who needs us, but we need your help to do this.
