Circles Network Advocacy Moray delivers a free, independent service providing information and advocacy to vulnerable people across Moray. Our support is flexible and accessible whether by phone, email, online, at local community drop-ins, or through home visits if unable to reach our office in Elgin.
As part of the Scottish Government-funded Support in the Right Direction (SiRD) project, we specialise in advocacy for anyone applying for or receiving a Self-Directed Support (SDS) funded care package.

Circles Network will always strive to ensure everyone can have their voice heard and make informed choices to live life to the fullest.
