We would like to show other people how being in the group has helped us. We will tell you what we enjoy about being in Halton Speak out and how it has helped us.
Meet some of the members of the group:
Hello! My name is Leah!
I mainly think that the group always help each other and making new friends
is easy!. Before I joined I had a normal life but now I am a treasurer for
the group which means I look after the money. Halton Speak Out changed my
life and me because I would now speak up more.
Hello! My name is James!
I enjoy going to meetings, speaking up for the group and going to the Partnership board meetings to speak up for other people. I like learning to do presentations. Before Halton Speak Out I was not as happy. Life was boring and I could only get information from the centre no where else. Now my life has changed because I know more about my rights, have more freedom and am more confident speaking up for myself.
Hello my name is Rachael!
I work for Halton Speak Out and enjoy being a chairperson and getting a co-worker.
I used to work in the school office before I joined and started work for Speak
Out. Being a chair person is a hard job but being in the group means I help
other people with there problems so its worth it!
Hello my name is Alison!
I like going to the meetings and being with the group. I like doing presentations and am the secretary for Speak Out. I have learnt alot from coming to the meetings about valuing people and my rights. Before I have lived in hospitals and residential homes and never knew I had rights. I was not confident and was nervous but now I am proud of myself. I help myself by speaking out and know more people who can help me. I want my dreams to come true and know more about my rights. I like being the secretary and have learned how to use the computer.
