Advocacy Project (Winchester District)
We provide advocacy in the Winchester district including rural areas and in the north of the Test Valley. Trained volunteer advocates and paid advocates dedicate time and energy to enable individuals to speak up for themselves. They work principally with vulnerable people such as those who are long term sick, older people, disabled people or those who are in some way disadvantaged. We also support 'Just Us', 'Speaking Out' and 'Active Orange' - self-advocacy groups for adults with learning difficulties.
