what is advocacy?
An Advocate is an independent professional who can support you to have your voice heard on a particular issue. They can help you to understand a process you are going through and will try to support you to build up your confidence.
Some common issues we provide support with include housing, finance, child protection cases, accessibility issues, healthcare access and care providers.
Advocacy is about recognising the needs of people and making sure that their voice is heard.
