We provide independent, professional advocacy services for people in Devon and Torbay.
We take action to help people say what they want, secure their rights, represent their interests and get the services they need.
Support for you
Disability Together is one of four partner charities – alongside Rethink Advocacy, Vocal Advocacy and Young Devon – that make up the Devon Advocacy Consortium (DAC), established in 2014 to provide free, independent advocacy across Devon and Torbay.
Each partner specialises in different areas of advocacy, so we can match you with the right support to have your voice heard and your rights upheld
Several partners within the Consortium, including Disability Together, hold the Quality Performance Mark (QPM) for Advocacy services, awarded by the National Development Team for Inclusion.
Discover how advocacy empowers you to express your wishes and influence decisions about your health, care and support.
See how our Devon-based advocates listen, represent and guide you through meetings, referrals and practical next steps.
These figures from 2022-2024 show how deeply our service supports people in Devon.
We have a dedicated contact centre team who are happy to take referrals and deal with enquiries. Alternatively, you can contact any organisation within the consortium directly.
