Professional One to One Advocacy

An Advocate can work with you and support you to:



An Advocate will act only on their clients’ instruction. Their role is to do what the client asks not what they think is best for the client.
Whatever your issue we will always ask you what you want to do before we do anything else.
We can work with you to get in touch with people who provide your services, or services you would like to access.
If you'd like to read some real-life stories about the difference our work can make please follow the links on the right.

We can provide support for people aged 16 or over on a wide range of issues such as:


Adaptation
Care
Children
Complaints (formal)
Cultural
Debt
Domestic Violence
Education
Employment
Faith/religion
Finance
Housing

Immigration
Leisure
Local Authority
Medical (non mental health)
Mental Health Services
Mental Health Act
Police/Courts
Political
Relationships
Resettlement
Sexuality

What We Can't Do:



We can support you in accessing these services but we are unable to carry out the work ourselves.
It is essential that Advocates do not present themselves as experts or advisors. In many cases the Advocates role will be a limited role; possibly referring the client to a more appropriate service.

Not sure if we can help you?

We can support you with other issues too, so if you’re not sure, please contact us and ask!
