Advocacy ensures that people are able to speak out, to express their views and defend their rights. An advocate gives time and commitment, standing alongside someone who is struggling to deal with a change, choice or challenge, helping them understand their options, make decisions be heard and have their say. Advocates support people to access legal rights, challenge service, tackle challenging family issues, secure income and opportunities to which they are entitled

We provide support when often there is no-one else to speak on behalf of a vulnerable person and make sure their views are heard and acknowledged

People feel empowered, more in control, less anxious and stressed and in time able to advocate on their own behalf.
