Sheffield voices is a group made up primarily of adults with a learning disability and autistic adults but we are also a welcoming and inclusive group. 

Our staff and volunteers work with our members, not for them! We believe in co-production for everything we do, and not making decisions for people without them. 

We employ people with disabilities on our team, including a staff member with a learning disability and an Autistic staff member. Our volunteers are almost all group members who wanted to be more involved. 

We run sessions both face to face and online through zoom around self-advocacy, issues affecting the learning disability community, creative sessions, and social groups.
