Everyone has a right to speak up for themselves, especially when it is about their health, care, and wellbeing.
Not everyone can do this easily. Some may face barriers like communication difficulties, mental ill-health or a lack of confidence in speaking up. We give people a voice when they find it difficult to express their views and ensure that decisions about them are made with them.
We are proud to have a team of more than 100 highly trained advocates available across the North of England. In the last thirty years, we have supported over 10,000 people per year across 17 local authority areas to have their voices heard about things that matter to them.
