Sandwell Advocacy

Who we are

Sandwell Advocacy provides independent advocacy throughout Sandwell, promoting rights, voice and empowerment.

Sandwell Advocacy is a registered charity who have been providing independent advocacy throughout Sandwell since 1993. As such we are a well-established community based organisation with a proven track record of providing high quality advocacy support.  We were established to support vulnerable individuals who feel that their needs, rights and wishes have not been taken into account when planning and delivering health and social care services. 

We have a team of qualified advocacy practitioners and well trained volunteers who are experienced in working in partnership with those in need of our services. We work in an enabling way to empower people to speak up, have their voices heard and become more able to self-advocate. We support people to ensure that they are able to explore avenues open to them, to discuss options and ensure that people make informed decisions. Our users tell us that they feel more confident to articulate their needs, rights and wishes more effectively as a result of accessing our advocacy service.
