My Story

I will be running the Great North Run 2023 to raise money for the charity I work for Your Voice Counts. 

Your Voice Counts is a charity that supports people with learning disabilities, autistic people and people who are at risk of exclusion due to disability, illness or other challenges. We help people to be connected, to have choice and control in their lives, and to speak up for what they want and need.

Working with our partners, we design and deliver learning, personal development and social opportunities for people with learning disabilities and autistic people and promote and support self-advocacy and user-led groups so people can speak up for what they want and need, be better connected and have choice and control over their lives. 

We are also a statutory provider of mental health and learning disability advocacy services for people living in Newcastle upon Tyne and South Tyneside.

​We believe in listening to and empowering people with different needs and abilities to bring about positive change.  Experts by Experience are at the heart of our organisation and guide everything we do.
