We facilitate regular self advocacy groups, service user forums, health forums, and one-off events across Powys.
We are always looking for new ways to help people to speak up for themselves, and get their voices heard in their local area, as well as across Wales.
Let us know if you have any ideas, as our work direction is steered by our members, as well as by our steering group, which meets regularly.
Powys People First members want to change things for the better.
Powys People First enables its members to attend training to support their self advocacy.

Our members are always looking at new things to do in the meetings and new ways to look at different information that they are interested in.
