Services About Get Involved Information Contact Independent Advocacy is a way to help people have a stronger voice and to have as much control as possible over their own lives. (Scottish Independent Advocacy Alliance) We work with people to make sure they have the information they need about their rights and the choices in front of them. We do not make decisions for anyone or tell them what they should do, but we can help support people to express their views and have their voices heard. As an independent charity AdvoCard is separate from organisations that provide other types of services. We are not part of the Council, the NHS, or the Scottish Government, though they fund some of our services. All our services are free “My Advocacy worker explained everything that was going to happen and went over the questions with me so I was prepared and then she reminded me of things I wanted to say when we were in the meeting. I was better prepared for the meeting and felt I got to say everything I wanted to say.” – AdvoCard Service User Updates STRONG Care and Support from your GP Practice Our work in numbers Stigma Stories Welcome to our new website advocacy@advocard.org.uk AdvoCard, c/o Andrew Duncan Clinic, Royal Edinburgh Hospital, Edinburgh, EH10 5HF Telephone: 0808 196 3525 © 2021 AdvoCard Scottish Charity SC023181 Limited Company by Guarantee SC396023 Cookie Policy Privacy Policy Membership A SiteOrigin Theme We use cookies to optimise our website and our service.
