As a self-advocacy organisation Ace Anglia’s priority has always been to support people with a learning disability and/or autism to have a voice and a platform to be heard. This video highlights how Ace Anglia adapted quickly during the COVID-19 pandemic to transfer self-advocacy groups online and co-produce new online opportunities with health professionals. These activities supported people to stay connected and continue to have their voices heard.
