Avalon is dedicated to involving the people who use the service (our customers) in as many ways as possible, for example in recruiting staff, providers and volunteers, training them, having their own consultation and social groups, writing policies and procedures in an accessible way and running conferences. Customers also sit on sub-groups which report directly to our Board of Trustees. Avalon is always looking for caring people to become support workers, family living providers or as volunteers in the Breakaway holiday scheme. Your contributions help us to run our customer groups and pay the Chairs of these groups, all of whom have learning disabilities, and help with the expenses of running conferences and awareness events.
