1Voice National Residential Weekends

The National Residential Weekend is the biggest event that 1Voice holds in the year. The Weekend caters for all ages and all members of the family. Families and AAC users can support each other to overcome the isolation that being unable to speak can bring. The opportunity is used to network, share information, meet adult role models and have a lot of fun!

In recent years the event has attracted between 60 and 100 people and finding suitable venues to accommodate our group is challenging. Raising funds to help subsidise the cost of the events is also increasingly challenging.

Following on from our successful 2017 Weekend at the end of July, we are looking forward to future 1Voice National Weekends.

We would like to gather some information about your decision on whether or not to attend a 1Voice National Residential Weekend. This will be useful in planning our future events. If there is anything else you would like to share about your decision on whether or not to attend an event that is not covered by the form, please get in touch with Jo at events@1voice.info.

All feedback is greatfully received.
