What is My Voice My Choice?

Our My Voice My Choice programme is designed to develop your campaigning and advocacy skills so you’ll be able to make a difference in your local community. 

How does it work?

We have planned a series of training workshops, inspiring talks by guest speakers and access to one-to-one mentoring. 

These events are all designed to build your confidence, grow your network and give you the tools to be an effective campaigner.

How can I get involved?

Some events will be by invitation, whilst others will be open to all, with some limitations of numbers. Keep an eye on this page to see each new event go live, or email us with any questions at myvoicemychoiceenquiries@leonardcheshire.org.

As a disabled person myself, the sessions put on by Leonard Cheshire were vital. Helping to make sure a disabled person knows how to and where to report a hate crime and the importance of fitness is vital and I applaud Leonard Cheshire for the work they are doing.

Citizen Panel Toolkit

Over the past two years of the programme we have developed this fantastic resource together with participants.

We're delighted to share this Citizen Panel Toolkit with you, as a means to set up and run a Citizen Panel in your area and get your campaigning journey off to a flying start.
