Community Disability Advocacy Project

Contact: Chris Chambers

Community Disability Advocacy is a project in partnership between People with disabilities WA (PWdWA) and Advocacy WA (AWA), supporting community-driven solutions to local issues affecting people with disabilities.

Community Disability Advocates (CDAs) will support up to 12 different Community Disability Advocacy Networks to implement a co-designed Local Disability Advocacy Network (LDAN) Model to enable communities to come together to fix local problems with local solutions.

By developing a Network in the community, the project will offer

Grant support for up to $5,000.00 for community action plans
Ongoing facilitation, secretariat, and mentorship support to Networks both existing or getting started.
Linkages and grant writing support as needed.
Training workshops and events to support skill building.
