How can we help?

What services we have to offer

Advocacy and Independent Visiting.

What is Advocacy?

Advocacy is about having someone to listen to you and helping you to be heard. It can help you to tell the people who make decisions about your life what you think and how you feel.

Advocacy can help you to:

• get your voice heard
• know and understand your rights
• take part in meetings and reviews
• sort things out with your social worker or carer
• make a complaint.

Our eligibility criteria:

You may be eligible for advocacy if you meet any of the following criteria:

• If you are under the care of your local authority
• If you receive support from social services
• If you are in the process of leaving care under the age of 21, or under the age of 25 for those in further education

What is Independent Visiting?

With those with no or limited contact with their family, we also offer an Independent Visiting service. An Independent Visitor is an adult who will visit and spend time with you, a positive role model and someone who will go on fun activities of your choice.
