We are proud to be a member-led Charity. This means that the Voice of our members is at the heart of everything we do. By becoming a member you will be part of the voice to the thousands of people in Wales and England who face a range of co-occurring health conditions and complex social circumstances, by pushing for change, sharing experiences and helping to shape our work.
Adferiad is represented on a number of Welsh and UK wide strategic groups representing the voices of our clients and carers. The Welsh Government and UK Government both listen to Adferiad, but more members mean a louder voice, more authority and more influence where it matters.
There is no cost to become a member but we always welcome any contribution which goes towards the ambition and mission of the charity.
Throughout Wales Adferiad's local networks offer support, practical help, and the opportunity to share experiences, make new friends and campaign. Membership holds the networks together and gives participants a voice in how we move forward.
Members have the opportunity to take part in our surveys and focus groups. This means that we will seek your views and experiences to increase awareness of our mission and to raise Adferiad’s profile. Members can also elect Trustees and have the chance to become a Trustee under Adferiad's constitution which means that the people who receive our services govern the staff team who deliver these.
Adferiad offers a wide range of services to those who have problems with mental health, addiction, co-occurring/complex issues and physical needs, and to their families and carers.
As a member, you will receive exclusive resources including members newsletters, event invitations to our local and national campaign events, and further resources. You will have access to our ‘Members Area’ through our website.
