About Us

Established in 2009, we have a track record in providing generic advocacy. Currently we are now focused on delivering two key projects.
Recovery services – providing a voice to those who are experiencing drug and alcohol issues, so they feel heard and involved in the treatment and support services offered to them. We also signpost them to other services that they could utilised. Often our advocates have lived experience of the challenges so they can understand, relate and therefore provide a multi-layered approach to the advocacy experience.
Support for unpaid carers – providing information and support to ensure that unpaid carers are able to access legal services that can assist with financial and welfare power of attorney and/or guidance on how they can begin the process of gaining guardianship.
