HOPE Independent Volunteer
Advocacy HOPE’s (Helping others participate and engage) trained Independent Volunteer Advocates will listen and support you to say what matters to you.
Our advocacy service is independent of other services and agencies. It’s free of charge for anyone who is aged 50+, or a carer of an older person.
What can my advocate do?
Your advocate will help you to:
• Ensure people listen to your views,
wishes and feelings so you lead the
decision making
• Find the right support you need when
you need it
• Be supported to say what matters to
you and why
• Understand information about services
or your rights
• Understand your options and choices
• Empower you to help yourself in the
future and to ultimately self-advocate
About the service
The work we do with you is confidential.
That means we’ll always talk to you
before discussing your information with
anyone else.
We’ll keep your information safe and
you have the right to see your own records.
We’ll support you to have access to them if
you wish.
If you feel you’re at risk of harm or abuse,
we can look at ways to help you feel safe.
