Just Say runs Self-Advocacy groups where young people aged 13 - 25 years can meet and speak up about things that are important to them.  There are 11 groups running at the moment. They are held in Beaucroft, Montacute, Yewstock, Winchelsea, Victoria, Mountjoy, Philip Green Memorial, Westfield and Wyvern schools, and at the Bournemouth and Poole College.

Just Say would be pleased to welcome new volunteers to support any of the Speaking Up groups. We encourage peer support. Volunteers can learn new skills, gain confidence and offer valuable support to young people in their community. Contact Dawn or Julia if you are interested in volunteering.

Funding from Dorset County Council and Poole Borough Council supports groups in Weymouth, Poole, Wimborne, Sturminster Newton and Bridport. We are always on the lookout for more funding for our "Independence Day" conferences.
