Vision Statement

Activities (2007-2008)
These have included running our first major project the Civic Participation Network Project, funded by the Scottish Government. This aimed to remove barriers faced by those with communication support needs wishing to be active citizens.

The project has three practical outcomes:

  • Training
    Three pilot courses in how to influence decision makers in Scotland were developed. They were aimed at people requiring support to access information and express their views.
