Glasgow ACE

What is Glasgow ACE?

Glasgow ACE (Advisory Committee to ENABLE) is ENABLE Glasgow’s self advocacy group. ACE empowers people with learning disability to voice the issues that are important to them at both local and national level. The group is open to all adults with learning disability who have an interest in campaigning. Glasgow ACE is part of the wider National ACE network and has good links with other local ACE groups and campaigning organisations. The group is therefore in a strong position to act as the voice of people with learning disability in Glasgow.

What do Glasgow ACE Members Do?

Glasgow ACE members attend six weekly meetings to discuss current issues at an organisational, community and national level. Each member has specific responsibility to report back from a particular service or group they attend.

Glasgow ACE members are represented on various different committees and organisations including:

• ENABLE Glasgow Branch Committee
• National ACE
• Scottish Cross Party Group on Learning Disability
• Scottish Consortium on Learning Disability
• Learning Disability Alliance Scotland
• Glasgow Disability Alliance

When does ACE meet?

Glasgow ACE meets every six weeks and is facilitated by an independent advocate. Meetings are currently held at ENABLE Glasgow’s Head Office location at 9 Lynedoch Street on a Monday afternoon*.
