"All About People" 

Compass is a unique, fairly small (but significant) user-led organisation of people with learning disabilities, based in Ballymoney, Northern Ireland.   

We promote advocacy by sharing experiences, advice and information, support individuals in creating Person Centered Plans for both their work and personal lives and we provide training and meaningful work experience to improve the quality of life for people with learning difficulties.  

We are extremely proud of our organization as it has retained all of the unique qualities from its inception including remaining user led and managed, independent, progressive and proactive.  Our underpinning aim is to create an organisation for informed and empowered individuals to push back the barriers to enable them to have the same fulfilling and creative opportunities as every other citizen therefore leading to our membership taking control over their own lives and destinies…

“Learning to speak up for ourselves with confidence, brings out the best in us.”
