Our Advocates are professionals who listens to you, help you understand your options and makes sure your views are heard.
Support for you
Advocacy offers independent support to help you navigate decisions about your health and social care needs, pairing you with a professional who listens, explains your options and champions your voice.
Sometimes described as getting support from someone to help you express your views and stand up for your rights, advocacy ensures you’re not navigating complex systems alone.

We work together to produce free and independent advocacy services across Devon and Torbay.
See how our Devon-based advocates listen, represent and guide you through meetings, referrals and practical next steps.
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.
