Brandon Adventurers

The Brandon Adventurers are a panel of experts by experience. They are people supported by Brandon, working in paid roles to advocate for autistic people and people with a learning disability. They are consulted on co-production projects and initiatives at Brandon, and are a sought-after group of consultants for outsourced contracts.

They have contributed to Brandon’s strategic plans, are involved in recruitment and retention projects, are consulted about campaigns and PR activity, and are at the heart of all major decisions made at Brandon – nothing happens about the people we support, without the people we support being involved in the process.
