We have some exciting new volunteer roles in Asking You! One of them is Elected Representative. This role sees someone who goes to a People’s Parliament meeting chosen by other members to share what they say at the Leeds Learning Disability Partnership Board.

If you are in Leeds, have a learning disability and want to volunteer as an Elected Representative, we have a meeting coming up to help with that.

Preparation

The Elected Representatives will be elected at the People’s Parliament meeting on Tuesday 24th September. As this is an elected role, we are holding a preparation session before the meeting. It will cover:

  • How to write an election speech
  • How to present an election speech
  • Managing nerves

When is the session?

It is on Tuesday 17th September from 1pm to 3pm. We will hold it at The Advonet Group’s office, at this address:

The Advonet Group
Unity Business Centre
26 Roundhay Road
Leeds
LS7 1AB
