Peer Advocates, Self Advocates and staff from MOWLL attended the 2012 ICE (Inclusive Community Experience) Conference on 29th, 30th & 31st January at Ribby Hall, Kirkham.

The conference focuses on community building and person-centred planning, with workshops that develop skills and knowledge in building and contributing to your own community.

There were opportunities to develop skills in independence and find out how self-directed support and personalised budgets really work in practice.

MOWLL staff and Peer Advocates presented a screening of the FACE Facts film and held a workshop about hate crime and exclusion. People attending the workshop were asked to make a pledge for change.
