What is an organisation identifier?
An organisation identifier is a unique piece of text that definitively identifies an organisation.
Examples include charity numbers and company numbers.
Identifiers are usually assigned by an external body like a regulator.
Findthatcharity uses the Org ID scheme to create identifiers.
GB-CHC gives the scheme for this identifier (Charity Commission), while 1091686 is the identifier for this organisation within the scheme.
Description
We provide independent advocacy by paid staff and volunteers. We aim to insure that disabled adults have a voice, have the opportunity to make fully informed choices and that they are listened to by carers and professionals. We provide training in advocacy and disability equality. From April 2007 we also provide IMCA to learning disabled (16yrs +) and people with dementia in the Birmingham area.
