1Voice South West

1Voice South West restarted as a group in 2024. We loosely cover Bristol, Gloucestershire, Somerset, Wiltshire and Bath - but welcome people from anywhere!

We are starting to run get-togethers and activities in the region and are keen to hear from anyone who would like to get involved, come along, or support the group. Our events are social opportunities for AAC users, their families, PAs, and supporters. We welcome people using any form of AAC, whether they are at the very start of their communication journey, or are confident communicators.

1Voice Trustee and parent, Alison and 1Voice role model Ian have kickstarted the group and are keen to connect with people in the region who are interested in collaborating to enable more events and social opportunities for AAC users in the region.
