The Elfrida Society

Because of the Coronavirus (COVID-19) emergency Elfrida has made changes to the way we work. We want to keep people safe. But we can still work with you to offer specialist advocacy, guidance, information and support. We will not be able to see you face to face unless it is an emergency and we can work with you safely. You can keep contact with us... using the phone or emails. We can also help you to contact us using other ways such as video links. Click here for more info about Advocacy Services. Our vision is for a better world, social justice and equality of opportunity for people with learning disabilities. Our mission is to support and work with people who have learning disabilities. Our aim is to provide services and support that help people with learning disabilities build connections, have happy and independent lives, and have fun. Our values of trust, care, choice and opportunity reflect our history and have been developed in consultation with our staff, service users and trustees. These values are embedded into the mission, vision and overall aim and objectives of the organisation and all our projects. If we get the right support from the beginning, well get to keep our kids.
