The Advisory Group is an inclusion and group advocacy charity run by disabled people to promote social inclusion, break down the barriers of discrimination and promote the gifts and talents of disabled people. Our goal is to empower disabled people to have a voice in the design and delivery of community services and facilities. We have 15 groups across Scotland who meet regularly. These groups host events which promote inclusion and greater access to community facilities. They engage in consultation with a wide range of statutory and voluntary organisations. They provide information and training for disabled people and have a network of resource to improve the lives of disabled citizens in Scotland.
