We have been providing advocacy around the West of Scotland since 1995.  Equal Say is a registered charity and  receives funding from The Scottish Government, North Lanarkshire Council, South Lanarkshire Council, NHS Lanarkshire and both North and South Lanarkshire Alcohol and Drugs Partnerships.  All our services are free to the people who use them because of our grant funding from our supporters.

We are an independent organisation with our own Board of Management.  Our independence means we are loyal only to the people we represent and we strive to be as free as we can from any conflicts of interest.

We work with adults who have learning disabilities, mental ill health, addictions, long term conditions or physical disability. Our advocacy partners often have contact with either Health or Social Work Services and/or are subject to Social Policy legislation such as the Mental Health Act, The Adult Support and Protection Act or the Adults with Incapacity Act.
