Welcome to Dorset Advocacy

Dorset Advocacy’s independent advocates help to ensure that rights are upheld and that peoples’ views, wishes and needs are heard, respected and acted upon.

• Advocates take action to help people say what they want, secure their rights, represent their interests and get the services they need.
• Advocacy promotes inclusion, equality and social justice.
• We help people with learning difficulties, long term health conditions, cancer, NHS complaints, dementia or memory loss as well as their families, carers and support staff.
• Over half of our advocates are volunteers. Without them, many of our projects would not be able to operate.
