Wigan & Leigh People First
What's that 

What is Wigan & Leigh People First?

Wigan & Leigh People First  Wigan & Leigh People First is an independent user led self advocacy charity for people with Learning Disabilities. 
Speaking Up  Self advocacy is about speaking up for ourselves. It is important, people with learning disabilities should be listened to 
Campaigning  We listen to what members have to say and campaign about the things that are important to them. 
Having a Meeting  We have a weekly meeting that is open to any of our members.

The meeting is on a Tuesday from 10am - 4pm. At the meetings we talk about any issues that are important to our members. We just ask for a small contribution of £2 each week to help cover some of our costs.
Helping to do the work  Some of our members get involved in the day to day running of Wigan & Leigh People First. 
Represented  We try to make sure that people with learning disabilities are represented on as many local forums and decision making bodies as possible.
