I’ve been asked about the annual LeDeR report. We are working closely with colleagues at Kings College London who are finalising the report and we apologise for its delay. We are keen to publish as soon as possible.
Hope this will be shared at the Positive Voices 2025 😃#selfadvocacyworks

Ladies and Gentlemen Positive Voices 2025 is booked! Tickets will be online in the next few weeks but get it in your diary now 3rd and 4th September at Aston conference centre Birmingham. Excited to see you all.
We are now closed for Christmas. Thank you for your support during 2024 and we look forward to doing it all again in 2025. We would like to wish you all a merry Christmas and a happy new year. 🥳
