Have you ever been in a meeting and felt that your views weren’t being listened to or that you weren’t able to take it all in? Perhaps you had trouble obtaining the correct benefits. Or maybe you find it tricky obtaining all the different services that are available to you. Do you feel that you are not being listened to regarding your medication or care plan? These are just examples of the sort of issues the Advocacy Service deals with on a day-to-day basis.

The Advocacy Service is independent from other organisations and you will not find us making judgements about what is concerning you. You can be also assured that any dealings you have with us will be treated in strictest of confidence. And of course it’s free to service users.
We are not an advice service but can help you find advice. By listening and discussing with you the issues and if necessary obtaining information we can help you arrive at a well informed decision. We can also accompany you to meetings with professionals and others.

If there is an issue that you feel you would be able to deal with better if you had some support then contact us.
