Independent Advocacy: supporting you to be informed, heard and involved

Are you aged 50+, or a carer of an older person, living in the community and have issues or concerns that you're finding it difficult to resolve?

Do you need help to:

• Ensure people listen to your views, wishes and feelings so you lead the decision making?
• Someone there for you and only you
• Get the right support you need when you need it?
• Someone to listen to you and support you so you can make your own decisions
• Be supported to say what matters to you and why?
• Understand information about services or your rights?
• Understand your options and choices?

HOPE has trained independent Volunteer Advocates who will be:

• Someone to help you access and understand information and make informed choices
• Someone to represent you if you need them to
• Someone to help you be heard

If you think that HOPE can support you, please e-mail advocacy@agecymru.org.uk
