Find out about becoming a Volunteer with Speak Out:
I have volunteered in quite a few voluntary organizations in Brighton & Hove and I think my work at Speak Out is the most enjoyable voluntary work I have done in Brighton & Hove; and I think that comes from the sense of meaning and purpose that comes from Speak Out volunteering and the great staff and volunteers.
Preparing for the Election
In April, Speak Out and Grace Eyre held an event to help people with learning disabilities prepare for the coming elections this year.
